“Interference is a terrific page-turner, but it’s also a haunting, powerful look at the way families and friendships entangle us all. Berry is a sharp-eyed, engaging writer, and she deftly captures the terrors, ruptures and intimacies of one seemingly ordinary neighborhood, always finding a precarious beauty in her characters’ lives. This is a book that is terrifying, startling, and very hard to put down.” — Rebecca Godfrey, author of The Torn Skirt and Under the Bridge

“Interference is tightly plotted and neatly executed, very nearly perfectly paced, and satisfyingly complex — but it is also escapism in its purest form, and a sheer delight to read.” — Winnipeg Review

“Michelle Berry’s uncanny fifth novel reminds us that even the most seemingly ordinary neighbourhoods may be anything but … Berry successfully builds suspense and plays on the reader’s sense of paranoia by cleverly alluding to moments of potential disaster that never materialize.” — Quill & Quire

“True to its name, Interference slyly subverts the expected and pulls back the curtain on the danger and darkness of family life in the new millennium, leading the reader through a roundabout of intersected lives from which we cannot soon recover. From cancer to child abduction, here are all the touchstones of mid-life; Berry leaves us reeling in the knowledge that more than any of these, it is fear — brazen as ever — that bullies its way into the game and threatens to blow the works.” — Elisabeth de Mariaffi, author of How to Get Along with Women

“Weaving myriad narratives into an impressive whole, the book submits that a community is actually an arena of unfocused fear … this novel, with its dark-humoured glimpse behind neighbourhood doors, is something to look forward to.” — PublishersWeekly.ca

“When I first started reading Interference, I wasn’t convinced that a novel made up (partly) of standalone short stories could flow nicely. I was soon surprised at just how expertly Michelle Berry was able to lace everything together into a fast-paced, suspenseful, and powerful page-turner.” — Newstalk1010.com

“An immaculately constructed page-turner that is also, miraculously, a redemptive meditation on loneliness and community.” — Carrie Snyder, author of Girl Runner
