Timothy Findley ou d'Alice Munro, ses contemporains, elle use tantôt d'humour, tantôt d'imaginaire ou reste au contraire très ancrée dans la réalité, qu'elle applique sur la toile des jours par touches toujours savamment dosées. Qu'elle décrive la sensation inoubliable laissée par le ruissellement de l'eau sur la peau lors d'une journée torride, l'angoisse d'une mère en proie au doute devant le comportement de ses enfants adolescents ou le désespoir ravageur qui seul reste après la disparition de l'être aimé, il est impossible de ne pas être envouté par ses personnages tant ils nous deviennent familiers en un clin d'oeil.
