Mary Lou Driedger, at her weblog “What’s Next?” says, https://maryloudriedger2.wordpress.com/2026/05/03/like-a-river-divides-the-earth/

“In each of the five stories in Dora’s latest collection, her beautiful, thoughful writing shines through… I was going to read one of the stories in Like a River Divides the Earth each day and savour them, but they were all so interesting and good I tore through them all within forty-eight hours.”

First review! The B.C. Review titles its review “up a notch from the ordinary” and praises the book’s “solid writng,” verbs, and “visual images” alongside examples and concludes:

These are the dichotomies of human experience: keeping grudges, granting forgiveness; making up lies, trying perhaps to undo them; dealing with the miracles of new life or of death. All of them are here, encapsulated in five amazing stories, ones you may perhaps never forget.
