“A powerful testament against prejudice that is more telling for the time in which it was written. ”

- Victoria Times Colonist

“Deserves to be read and discussed with other classic Canadian novels. ”

- Canadian Jewish News

“It’s startling and chastening to read of women in the 1940s who seem as liberated as any woman today. ”

- Montreal Gazette

“A great read. ”

- The Globe and Mail

“The past few years have brought a number of novels that are honest, deeply felt, and extremely readable. This is a novelty. The greatest success has gone to Gwethalyn Graham's Earth and High Heaven. And that competent and passionately sincere study of race prejudice deserves all the popular approval it won. ”

- E.K. Brown

“Earth And High Heaven, published in 1944, when its author was just 31, ripped the veil off Canada’s genteel anti-semitism with its story of a young woman from an upper crust Anglo family in Westmount who falls in love with a Jewish lawyer her father forbids her to marry. ”

- The Toronto Star

“In a country that barely remembers its prime ministers, it’s hardly surprising that one of CanLit’s brightest early stars is almost forgotten. But Cormorant Books’ reprint of the 1944 novel Earth and High Heaven should bring back to prominence the extraordinary Gwethalyn Graham, who published two novels in her short life (1913 to 1965) and won the Governor General’s award for both. ”
