"Where love is, there is transformation. Without love, revolution has no meaning, for then revolution is merely destruction, decay, a greater and greater ever-mounting misery. Where there is love, there is revolution, because love is transformation from moment to moment." -- Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedoms "This accomplished and haunting debut…is a surreal tour de force set in Haiti during the 1990s….The prose is energetic and filled with poignancy so deeply felt, it resonates long after the story has been told….lyrical and breathtaking….Chancy is a writer who cares about words and pace and tells her story in deft strokes….This sensitive portrait of a people whose spirit might be quashed but not diminished is a compelling read." -- Irene D'Souza, "Surreal tour de force set in Haiti," Winnipeg Free Press, March 2005 "Chancy's [prose] brims with literary devices and rich images that transpose the harsh realities of Duvalier's terror-based regime against the personal dreams of her individual characters….in Chancy's world, true meaning resides in the intangible rather than in material reality." -- WorldPulse, Winter 2004 "somber and ethereal" -- Colin Rickards, forthcoming review, SheCaribbean "…readers can tell from the onset that the former professor has shed her scholarly cloak for a writer's mantle….[The] Scorpion's Claw is reminiscent of Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things, in the emotions she evokes." --Malcollvie Jean-François, "Chancy Frees Voices in 'Scorpion's Claw'," Haitian Times, Sept. 2005 "Chancy may well become a grand dame of Haitian literature…luminous and realistic…[s]he captures her readers and never loses their attention….in evocative and illuminating prose….the story she tells of the plight of a Haitian family, serves as an important and worthy subtext for all the political and genocidal atrocities that haunt our television broadcasts on any given day." --Irene D'Souza, "Author releases Haitian people, landscapes," Winnipeg Free Press, June 19th, 2005 "…groundbreaking…and she's already at work on her third novel" -- Buzzworthy, Caribbean Beat, Jan/Feb 2005
