The Day The Falls Stood Still

“A wonderful love story…Buchanan weaves Niagara Falls’ history and her storytelling together masterfully.”Elle

“Few first novels exhibit the mastery, maturity and majesty of Buchanan’s riveting fictional debut, a heart-wrenching, soul-racking, spell-binding tale interwoven with guts, anguish and glory guaranteed to remain in readers’ minds.”The Globe and Mail

The Day the Falls Stood Still stands on its own elegant prose and the vibrant voice of its narrator.”USA Today

The Day the Falls Stood Still is an extraordinarily assured first novel…It is a southern Ontario Gothic of the highest order, and deserves to take its place alongside the best novels of the Great War.”National Post

The Day the Falls Stood Still pulls us into the maelstrom of Niagara Falls at the time when rivermen drew daredevils from the brink, the promise of hydroelectric power wooed a nation and only a few dared question our relationship with the mighty river. Powerful and eloquent, a love story, a tribute to the river, and a recognition that no choice is ever made without consequences, The Day the Falls Stood Still is a novel to savour, as powerful as the Falls themselves.
