Excerpt from Shadows, Vol. 33: Literary Magazine of the Creighton University; October, 1931
Whether or not Shadows on the Rock shall be adjudged equal or superior to Death Comes for the Archbishop must remain for the while a matter of opinion. But the novel has distinction. It is very rich in atmosphere, this time the French and Catholic atmosphere of Quebec in Count Fronte nac's day. No one figure stands out, as does Jean Marie Lato-ur in the prior case, but there is a frieze of characters, all of them French colonials, which should excite the envy of B. Priestley's enthusiasts. The tempo is slow, though never dragging, so that the narrative bristles with sage pensées and illimitable nuances. Best of all, this new Cather book falls into the category of historical fiction, a vogue of which we are at present anticipar ing; it compromises with the passing era of biographical themes; it will press Canadian and English recognition; and it shall augment the author's already large Catholic public.
