Praise for The Geomancer's Compass

Praise for THE UNCHARTERED HEART by Melissa Hardy:
"...a remarkable evocation of events a... discerning examination of human motivation and behavior, and an adroit use of language. Melissa Hardy has an obvious place in the chart of Canadian writers." The Globe and Mail

"These are tales meant to enthrall and entertain and they succeed, yes, magnificently. . . .their effect is haunting. They radiate with the visual splendour of dreams and the psychic force of poetry. . . . A superb collection."
The National Post
