amerynth 's review for:

The Diviners by Margaret Laurence
4.0

Considered a classic of Canadian literature, Margaret Laurence's "The Diviners" was definitely a compelling read. Filled with complex and rich characters who are all searching for their way in life, the novel tells a solid and generally interesting story.

Told mostly in flashback, Morag Gunn's memories start out with the tragedy of her parent's death. The future writer searches for connections with people, which she does and doesn't find, while the other people in her life, in turn, search for things meaningful to them.

I enjoyed the story a great deal.
