benthaddeus 's review for:

The Diviners by Margaret Laurence
5.0

It's hard to say what this book is "about" because most of what goes on is exceedingly ordinary. And yet, there are moments where the story converges into something extraordinary and these were like fireworks. It took me a bit to get into it, but the parts at the beginning are so impactful as the book goes on that it made me want to reread them. Laurence's writing is spectacular and unique. This is 100% a novel for contemplation.
