Poetic Obituaries: "Desert of the Heart [by Jane Rule]--

coming as it did just before the late 60s women's movement--and containing as it did two lovers who were women--made Jane and Helen [Sonthoff] very famous in those circles," commented Margaret Atwood. "Her novels were never tracts, however. What interested her was character, in all its forms. The human-ness of human beings. The richness and unpredictability of life."

from The Globe and Mail: Jane Rule, 76
