The Stone Angel - Laurence, Margaret

Clean, tight, unmarked; age tanned; single light crease to spine; otherwise very minimal wear; In Hagar Shipley, Margaret Laurence created one of the boldest, most memorable characters in Canadian fiction. Raised according to the stern virtues of her pioneer ancestors, Hagar Shipley leads a life of uncompromising pride - a pride which sustained her during a stormy marriage, but which lost her a favourite son. As her story unfolds we are given vividly etched descriptions of Hagar as a young girl in a remote prairie town; of her now estranged husband; of John, her outgoing son; and Marvin, the son she never loved. And now, with her life nearly behind her, Hagar makes a bold, last step towards freedom and independence, and in the process gains a deeper understanding of the meaning of acceptance. In The Stone Angel, Margaret Laurence has given us a portrait of a remarkable woman and her life-long journey towards self-understanding.
