About this title: "The Gunpowder Plot" recreates the terrorist conspiracy annually commemorated on Guy Fawkes Day. Antonia Fraser has researched the plot by Roman Catholic extremists to topple the government of James I of England, and she outlines the parallels between the religious extremists of the Jacobean era and the fanatics of the 20th century. Dorris Lessing chose this title as a "Times Literary Supplement" Book of the Year for 1996.

"Read this several years ago, and although the details are vague, it left a definite impression. Haunting, tragic and real, this book seems to be semi-autobiographical and makes me want to read more of this terrific Canadian author's works."
"The first chapter was very confusing. Champion (Jeremiah) and Gabriel suffer much at the hands of the "loving" priests at residential school. They leave the north to live alienated from their own people in Winnipeg and choose artistic careers that also separates them from their family and from each other. Well crafted novel. Beautiful characters and imagery."
