"Four Sisters’ diversions and beauty never detract from the protestations at its heart. This is a plea against the ghettoization of the poor or otherwise marginalized, against the systematic devaluation of those who aren’t deemed prized contributors to a distinctly patriarchal brand of advanced capitalism."

“Fournier has tortured history . . . She’s compressed wars of conquest, religious wars, colonial wars and wars on terror into a single fictional war that alludes to them all.”
- J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail
