Praise for this book
NEW YORK TIMES -- YOUNG FRANCES is half coming-of-age story (female-friendship variety), half office novel. Lin's line is both romantic and scrupulously composed, with precise framing that can recall a Wes Anderson tableau. The dialogue ranges from deadly accurate corporate jargon ("How long do you think you can survive without deliverables?") to the kind of stuff you'd utter only to your closest friend ("People can get tapeworms in their brain, right?"). And Lin knows precisely when to let a few panels of premium Canadian silence sink in. (One character is shown reading - wait for it - Alice Munro.)
