"Camilla Gibb's previous novel, the Scotiabank Giller Prize short-listed Sweetness in the Belly, with its examination of Lilly, a white Muslim woman in Ethiopia and London, flew off bookstore shelves, and it's likely that The Beauty of Humanity Movement will as well...Gibb has created her own 'Beauty of Humanity.'"
-The Globe and Mail
"Another winner from Gibb."
-NOW Magazine
"...[Gibb] isn't satisfied with merely creating convincing characters and a bold plot. She educates and enlightens the reader whose grasp of Vietnam's history and culture may be based on little more than the vague recall of old headlines."
-Montreal Gazette
"...a dynamite read."
-Post City Magazine
"Gibb writes with a disarming simplicity well-suited to her story... Gibb's largely unadorned writing is... delicious for its austerity and complexities."
-Telegraph Journal
"Simply heartwarming. The writing, story and understanding brought to the book left me astonished, predicting that when award time comes around, Camilla Gibb's name will loom large."
-Owen Sound
