"This is the first book that ranges across all of Laurence's work - and does so intelligently and accessibly. Divining Margaret Laurence is sorely needed." Neil Besner, associate vice-president, International, University of Winnipeg "Stovel is arguably the pre-eminent Laurence scholar in Canada and has brought decades of scholarship to what may be considered the most comprehensive and definitive study of Laurence yet - considering the large number of writings about Laurence, it is surprising how much new material and new insight Stovel has contributed to Laurence studies with this book." Barbara Pell, Trinity Western University "Stovel's sensitive and intelligent construction discovers an important and breathtaking addition to Laurence studies." Great Plains Quarterly.
