"There is no telling what her characters might do, but she tells it and tells it well" "Yes, and Back Again is a tale haunted by unanswered questions... lit by the forces of love, compassion, and community.” — Leona Theis
"I didn’t know Yes, and Back Again was going to be that kind of book. I picked it up in the evening, intending to read only the first ten pages or so, then planned to devote the following day to it. Well, I finally put it down on page 110, and only because it was hours past my bedtime. This novel swept me up like the roaring South Saskatchewan River snatches debris off banks in the springtime... Bonny has crafted an ambitious story that melds history and the present, addresses cultures (specifically the Métis), and makes friends of wildly disparate people. There’s also a strong Tim Horton’s presence, text messaging, online police bulletins, and Facebook: talk about keeping it real." — Shelly A Leedhal "Fans of contemporary short fiction should certainly be interested in The Sometimes Lake... a fine balance of profound humanity interacting with the wonders of the world. The collection is a pleasant surprise that deserves to be more than another hidden gem in CanLit short fiction.” - Chad Pelley, The Telegraph Journal "The Sometimes Lake exhibits Bonny’s fluid use of language, irony, and humour in her firm navigation through the tragic and complicated lives of her characters." - Carlyn Schellenburg, Winnipeg Review "Sandy Bonny’s stories are crystal windows into novel territories. The uncommondenominator is that many of her characters enjoy life and solve problems from intelligences that are innately mathematical and scientific. As most literary fiction has come from somewhere else, these subtle skillful tales have crisp and new flavors; they yield discovery upon discovery. The Sometimes Lake is a powerful debut collection."— Fred Stenson
