A Bird in the House

Description

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, now available as a Penguin Modern Classic. 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.
