A Bird in the House

A Bird in the House

Margaret Laurence
3.9/5 ( ratings)
One of Canada’s most accomplished authors combines the best qualities of both the short story and the novel to create a lyrical evocation of the beauty, pain, and wonder of growing up.In eight interconnected, finely wrought stories, Margaret Laurence recreates the world of Vanessa MacLeod – a world of scrub-oak, willow, and chokecherry bushes; of family love and conflict; and of a girl’s growing awareness of and passage into womanhood. The stories blend into one masterly and moving poignant, compassionate, and profound in emotional impact.In this fourth book of the five-volume Manawaka series, Vanessa MacLeod takes her rightful place alongside the other unforgettable heroines of Hagar Shipley in The Stone Angel , Rachel Cameron in A Jest of God , Stacey MacAindra in The Fire-Dwellers , and Morag Gunn in The Diviners .
