Margaret Laurence
One of Canadaâ€™s most accomplished authors combines the best qualities of both the short story and the novel to create a lyrical evocation of the beauty, pain, and wonder of growing up.,In eight interconnected, finely wrought stories, Margaret Laurence recreates the world of Vanessa MacLeod â€“ a world of scrub-oak, willow, and chokecherry bushes; of family love and conflict; and of a girlâ€™s growing awareness of and passage into womanhood. The stories blend into one masterly and moving whole: poignant, compassionate, and profound in emotional impact.,In this fourth book of the five-volume Manawaka series, Vanessa MacLeod takes her rightful place alongside the other unforgettable heroines of Manawaka: Hagar Shipley in ,The Stone Angel,, Rachel Cameron in ,A Jest of God,, Stacey MacAindra in ,The Fire-Dwellers,, and Morag Gunn in ,The Diviners,.
