Wendy Rose, The Newfoundland Herald, St. John's, December 2014
"Trudy Morgan-Cole is building a reputation as a writer of compelling fiction, and A Sudden Sun ... can do nothing but enhance that reputation. Against a backdrop of Newfoundland history that includes the St. John's fire of 1892, William Coaker's Port Union, the women's suffrage movement and Wilfred Grenfell's work on the Great Northern Peninsula and in Labrador, she has crafted a multi-generational story of romance, tragedy, joy and loss."
