“Pentecost is a hybrid of mystery tale and metaphysical prose-poem … the marshworld of Pentecost recalls the moors of Thomas Hardy and Marteau’s characters, like Hardy’s, are huddled and shivering in fate’s shadow … Pentecost is riddled with the needlework of religion and metaphysics, its strongest passages are purely lyrical … a work of art, something that shimmers in the dark.” —Globe and Mail
