"The Flannigans is an exceptionally good novel, and the
heart-wrenching story appears to linger in your heart, long after
the book is finished."
The Daily Gleaner
"For all that has been said and written, no one has ever come
close to capturing the emotions of Confederation quite like M.
T. (Jean) Dohaney has."
The Aurora
"M. T. Dohaney offers up another rich and well-written fiction story
in The Flannigans. . . . Like Dohaney's other works, this
novel doesn't disappoint with its well-developed characters,
authentic scene setting, Newfoundland dialect, and good writing."
"Dohaney draws the characters and their
emotions so finely that generations who weren't alive to witness (or are
too young to remember) this turning point in our history can begin to
imagine the intensity of that time."
