Proulx calls Irma Voth a "strong and skillful novel," and closes her review with a reflection on Irma Voth as "a parable of redemption, a powerful and favourite theme in literature since the New Testament, traceable through thousands of literary works that leave the reader with a comforting glow of hope."
