Scenes of Childhood

"In Scenes of Childhood, grocers, landlords, tavern keepers, working men, night watchmen, parents, uncles and aunts and children march across the pages with the familiar song of accents and grammar and gossip that will bring chuckles and laughs to the lips of readers who knew that part of the city in the 40s and 50s. It is beautiful, it is touching, it is funny."

- MARIANNA O'GALLAGHER,

Canine Confessions

"Bernadette Griffin renders a dog's-eye view more vividly than most writers render a human's. I will never forget Daisy, and you will never forget Canine Confessions."

Literary Critic, The Gazette (Montreal, Canada)

Canine Confessions

"[...] a family story as told by the family dog, albeit one uncommonly articulate and culturally informed by four-legged standards; it also functions as an absorbing sociopolitical history of Montreal in the turbulent 1970s. We've seen a kennel full of dog's-eye novels in the past decade or so; this is one of the best."
