The life of a woman novelist living in a small town in Canada.
Margaret Laurence Knihy
18. júl 1926 – 5. január 1987
Margaret Laurence skúma zložitosť ľudskej existencie v kanadskej prérii prostredníctvom fiktívneho mesta Manawaka. Jej diela sa hlboko ponárajú do vnútorného života postáv, skúmajú témy identity, pamäti a odolnosti tvárou v tvár životným výzvam. Laurence pristupuje k písaniu s prenikavou psychologickou citlivosťou a obratne zachytáva nuansy ľudskej skúsenosti. Jej prozaický štýl sa vyznačuje bohatým, sugestívnym jazykom a dôrazom na psychologický realizmus.
A vivid portrait of a woman convinced that life has more to offer her than the tedious routine of her days.

In 1957, the British colony of the Gold Coast broke free to become the independent nation of Ghana. Margaret Laurence’s first novel, This Side Jordan, recreates that colour-drenched world: a place where men and women struggle with self-betrayal, self-discovery, and the dawning of political pride.This Side Jordan transcends the traditional limits of the first novel. Its powerful and compassionate characterizations and its themes of exile and community anticipate the five later novels that make up Laurence’s acclaimed Manawaka series. A major work of lasting significance, This Side Jordan creates echoes in the mind of the reader as resonant as the drums of Ghana.
