“Anyone who came of age during the turbulent 1960s will immediately relate to the novel Don’t Think Twice by prolific Saskatchewan author, Alison Lohans.”
So says Karen Lawson, reviewing the book for the Saskatchewan Publishers Group. She concludes the review with a word to the younger generation as well:
“This novel will … offer an eye opening, realistic view to young readers about an era that so profoundly impacted our society.”
