Quill & Quire: “Assured debut novel tends toward the weird and tumultuous”
Winnipeg Free Press: Stormy weather: Saso’s surreal debut an emotionally complex novel
Event Magazine (46/2): “… the reader is drawn along on a rollercoaster emotional ride through intense existential territory, teasingly obscured at times by Saso’s wacky humour and gift for unforgettable one liners.” (review available in digital download and print edition)
University of Toronto Quarterly (Vol 87, Issue 3): Emergent Fiction “…The daring juxtaposition of the themes of sexual assault and trauma with a playful expressionist conceit and darkly humorous scenes make The Weather Inside a noteworthy experiment. Saso conceptualized a risky aesthetic to tell Avery’s story, and it portrays remarkably Avery’s trauma with empathy while, nevertheless, integrating a sense of wonderment and humour.”
Editorial reviews…
“The Weather Inside is a mighty examination of faith and love. Saso masterfully shows why these are two different words. Gritty and heartfelt and hilarious in all the right places, this book is a gift for readers who are looking for something fresh.”
– Bradley Somer, author of Fishbowl
“A debut novel that is both heartbreaking and hilarious. Emily Saso is a unique and daring new voice.”
– Rebecca Rosenblum, author of So Much Love
