Diviners

"Morag Gunn spends her entire life trying to escape her roots and adoptive parents in the small Canadian town of Manawaka, becoming trapped in a demeaning marriage, and then unwed parenthood, only to find herself back where she started, and dealing with a daughter who is, in turn, rejecting her." "The culmination of the Manawaka cycle, and Laurence's final novel, 'The Diviners' is an epic tour de force. It is the story of Morog Gunn, an independent woman who refuses to abandon her search for love. We follow her from her lonely childhood in a small town on the Canadian prairie through her demeaning marriage and escape from it into writing fiction, and finally back to rural Canada, where she faces a different challenge -- the necessity to understand, and let go of, the daughter she loves. Throughout, Morog is forced to test her strength against the world -- and at last achieves the life she has determined would be hers."

  • "Edition originale, 1974. Le retour au pays natal de celle que Kattan considère comme une des plus prestigieuses romancières du Canada. Attendant des nouvelles de sa fille qui vient de faire une fugue, Morag Gunn revoit son enfance, sa jeunesse, ses amours, son divorce. Elle cherche "une dimension du présent" (Kattan) dans le passé, pour gagner son droit de naissance, pour que l'histoire soit assumée et pour retrouver ses origines, ses sources, britannique, française, indienne, métisse. Ce roman a pour cadre principal une petite ville du Manitoba. Il est à la fois de lecture assez facile, assez ambitieux et à l'occasion complexe (au niveau de son interprétation)."

  • "Morag Gunn grows up in a small town on the Canadian prairie, escapes from an unhappy marriage, and returns to rural Canada in hopes of coming to terms with the past."
  • "Troisième tome du cycle de Manawaka, Les Devins (Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général du Canada) est sans doute lʹœuvre la plus autobiographique de lʹauteure qui, dans une formidable courtepointe romanesque, pose un regard lucide et empreint de poésie sur les liens qui unissent lʹécriture et la vie.--[Memento]."

  • "For Morag Gunn, growing up in a small Canadian prairie town made her a fighter, a cynic, a romantic. A failed marriage, a heartbreaking affair and solitude forced her to develop a special way of being with a life strengthened by dignity and the ability to give and receive love."@en
