Reviews of Passing Through

"… a gripping story of a man forced to the margins of a city and a country he once knew intimately but can now barely recognize … a narrative by turns humorous, tender and harrowing - written in a prose of great liveliness and power. A magnificent performance."
- Philip Marchand

"Readers will relate to Daniel Foster's sudden financial loss, his attempts to heal his fractured family and his search for a meaningful relationship. The writing is fast-paced and vivid. A must read."

". . . Penhale takes his readers on a journey through the Arabian desert, the neighbourhoods of Toronto and the main streets of small town Ontario; a pilgrimage of rediscovery and adaptation that challenges us to re-examine our surroundings, our idea of comfort, and ourselves."
