"Stovel's sensitive and intelligent construction discovers an important and breathtaking addition to Laurence studies." Great Plains Quarterly


"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 inserts such a prodigious amount of original scholarship and lively commentary into her exhaustive overview that even a small taste will almost certainly draw even the casual grazer into a full feasting." American Review of Canadian Studies
