Reviews
"A wonderful concoction of historical sleuthing and sheer invention ... an absorbing and entertaining read ... I admired the panache with which Akenson broke the gender-loaded rules of historical biography." Joanne Page, Kingston Whig-Standard. "Outrageous and intriguing ... Akenson's writing is clear and fluid, his narrative well paced, and his feel for character unerring. Setting his yarn against a rich historical background ... Akenson holds the reader's attention while slipping in a wealth of historical detail ... At Face Value demonstrates the impressive reach of Akenson's imagination." Curtis Fahey, Quill & Quire. "A fascinating and plausible tale ... Akenson paints a vivid portrait of the person known as John White ... At Face Value raises plenty of possibilities that could make us reconsider our history." Dave Obee, Calgary Herald.
