Reviews
"A spy story well timed for the news’ current preoccupation with both the Kremlin and the nuclear arms race. " —Tara Henley, Toronto Star
"Feature interview with author Joyce Wayne about the historical people and events from her past that shaped the subject of her new novel, Last Night of the World. " —Canadian Jewish News
"We do, however, have Canada’s role in the real life theft of atomic secrets in 1946. In Last Night of the World. ..Joyce Wayne mines this excellent plotline. .. We know that Freda didn’t succeed, but she came close, and that makes this story, drenched in true Canadian history, a real page-turner. " —Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail
