A Jest of God (New Canadian Library) - Laurence, Margaret

Clean, tight, unmarked; age tanned; very light edge wear; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; In this remarkable and deservedly popular novel, Margaret Laurence writes with graceful power and deep compassion about a woman hovering on the brink of madness and despair, desperately struggling to communicate, to survive, to find freedom and release. Victim of deceit and pettiness - her own as much as others - Rachel Cameron is chained to a tyrannical, invalid mother in a small, stultifying Manitoba town. Her struggle, a struggle with love, with death, with herself and her world, is conveyed in deeply human terms with controlled fervour and unerring sensitivity.
