The Fire-Dwellers by Margaret Laurence

The Fire-Dwellers by Margaret Laurence

Convinced that life has more to offer than the tedious routine of her days, Stacey MacAindra yearns to recover some of the passion of her early romance. In this extraordinary novel, Margaret Laurence has given us yet another unforgettable heroine: smart, witty, but overwhelmed by the responsibilities of raising four children and trying to love her overworked husband. The Fire Dwellers helps us to rediscover all the richness of the commonplace, as well as the pain, beauty--and humor--of being alive.

Stacey's state of mind is revealed in a swift-flowing stream of dialogue, reaction, reproach, and nostalgia. . . . Laurence] is the best fiction writer in the Dominion and one of the best in the hemisphere.--Atlantic

Author of such critically-acclaimed adult novels as The Diviners, The Stone Angel and A Jest of God, and of such children's classics as Jason's Quest and Six Darn Cows, Margaret Laurence remains one of Canada's most-loved novelists. Her books are printed in many languages and are required reading on many university courses around the world. Margaret Laurence died in 1987.
