Review:

"An extraordinary, visionary book, written out of those edges where madness and poetry meet." --?Fay Weldon

"Coleman's lyrical rendering of her... treatment for post-partum psychosis... fresh and immediate and, at the same time, historically revealing." --?"Publishers Weekly"

"The book is no less graphic than it is authentic, an extremely rare achievement in the 'firsthand' document school of letters, for usually we have drama at the expense of truth, or bald facts that unwittingly falsify the picture. "The Shutter of Snow" is a profoundly moving book, supplying as it does a glimpse of what a temporary derangement and its consequences may mean to the sufferer." --?"The Nation"
