A Bird in the House (Penguin Modern Classics Edition)

In eight interconnected, finely wrought stories set in her beloved fictional town of Manawaka, Manitoba, Margaret Laurence pieces together the world of the unforgettable Vanessa MacLeod - a world of scrub-oak bushes, familial love and conflict, and a child's increasing awareness of what it really means to grow up. Blended into one masterly and moving whole, A Bird in the House upholds Margaret Laurence as one of Canada's most accomplished authors.
