“Ferguson is a novelist to be reckoned with . . . If it were up to me, I would have put this book on the Giller list.”
-James Macgowan in The Ottawa Citizen
“Ferguson is excelling at something new . . . Spanish Fly is a remarkable work, steeped in history and arcane knowledge but rooted in the intimate timelessness of the human heart and soul. ”
-Vancouver Sun
“Frequently hilarious and expertly paced . . . A delightful trove of con-man lore, as charming as a grifter working a mark.”
-Fastforward
“Nuanced and enthralling, Spanish Fly is undoubtedly the best writing Ferguson has ever done.”

-Telegraph-Journal
“A gripping story . . . A suberb storyteller.”
-VUE |

-The Globe and Mail
“A remarkable novel that is sure to become a modern-day classic.”
-Winnipeg Free Press
“A compelling piece of historical fiction that brings Ferguson’s writing to a whole new and exciting level.”
-Monday Magazine
“A solid read.”
-The Montreal Gazette
“Spanish Fly is a big, brawling romp of a novel. It will have you on the edge with suspense and action, while at the same time raising questions about the choices we make in life – and the consequences that follow.”
