"Steeped in deception and immoderate passions, the Canary family fights, laughs and lies as their mute but musically brilliant youngest child, Joan, listens, blending their discordant conversations into harmony. And just when things reach an irredeemable low, Joan's experimental composition allows the family members to finally hear each other out."@en
"A novel of truth and deception."
"Novel about a highly dysfunctional family in which a young girl who is speechless, agoraphobic, and a genius at the piano is raised by her homosexual grandparents because her biologicl mother is too young to be a parent."@en
"A zany novel on Joan, dropped on her head at birth. Joan grows to be a dwarf unable to speak, but able to mimic sound to the point of even playing the piano. The novel describes the impact she has on her family: Joan's 15-year-old mother, Joan's lesbian grandmother, her homosexual grandfather, and the grandfather's male lover, none other than Joan's father. By the author of We So Seldom Look on Love."

"Joan, dropped on her head at birth, has never spoken, but without ever having had a lesson plays the piano like Mozart.

"Barbara Gowdy's outrageous, hilarious, disturbing, and compassionate novel is about the Canary family, their immoderate passions and eccentricities, and their secret lives and histories. The deepest secret of all is harbored in the silence of the youngest daughter, Joan, who doesn't grow, who doesn't speak, but who can play the piano like Mozart though she's never had a lesson. Joan is a mystery, and in the novel's stunning climax her family comes to understand that each of them is a mystery, as marvelous as Joan, as irreducible as the mystery of life itself. In its compassionate investigation of moral truths and its bold embrace of the fractured nature of every one of its characters, Mister Sandman attains the heightened quality of a modern-day parable."@en
