À propos de cet audio

 In this celebrated novel, Margaret Laurence writes with grace, power, and deep compassion about Rachel Cameron, a woman struggling to come to terms with love, with death, with herself and her world.

Trapped in a milieu of deceit and pettiness – her own and that of others – Rachel longs for love, and contact with another human being who shares her rebellious spirit. Through her summer affair with Nick Kazlik, a schoolmate from earlier years, she learns at last to reach out to another person and to make herself vulnerable.

A Jest of God won the Governor General’s Award for 1966 and was released as the successful film, Rachel, Rachel. The novel stands as a poignant and singularly enduring work by one of the world’s most distinguished authors. Classiques Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire

Won the Governor General’s Award for 1966. That explains a lot. The story is old-fashioned… the dialogue, the relationships, painfully outdated. I felt like slamming my head into a wall listening to the conversations between Rachel and her mother. Sickening control by mother and disgusting lack of assertiveness by daughter. I garnered no fondness, sympathy, or respect for main character Rachel so the book was a waste of time. Narration was dull.

I got nothing but a headache from this story
