De wichelaars

De Geus. Paperback. Pp: 507. Morag Gunn, een schrijfster van middelbare leeftijd die op een boerderij in de Canadese prairie woont, stelt vast dat ze haar eenzaamheid en werk even hard nodig heeft als de liefde van haar gezin. Met ongebruikelijke humor en inzicht rekent Morag zowel in haar leven als in haar schrijven af met de littekens uit haar jeugd en haar liefdesleven. Tegelijkertijd probeert ze de eenzaamheid van haar dwalende dochter te begrijpen. Margaret Laurence (1926-1987) is een van Canadas beroemdste auteurs. Haar grootste bekendheid verwierf zij met de Manawaka-serie: De stenen engel (1964), Een grapje van god (1966), De vuurbewoners (1969), en De wichelaars (1974). Laurence ontving twee keer de Governor Generals Literary Award. ISBN: 9789044510843. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
