I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and interview one of my favourite Canadian authors about her new novel ROAD ENDS. Watch the video interview below for insights into Mary Lawson's new novel and find out her interesting inspiration for writing ROAD ENDS. You're also welcome to check out the info on the Retreat Book Club chat for her first novel CROW LAKE and enter the ROAD ENDS giveaways on this blog and the Facebook Bookalicious Page!
ROAD ENDS brings us a family unravelling in the aftermath of tragedy: Edward Cartwright, struggling to escape the legacy of a violent past; Emily, his wife, cloistered in her room with yet another new baby, increasingly unaware of events outside the bedroom door; Tom, their eldest son, twenty-five years old but home again, unable to come to terms with the death of a friend; and capable, formidable Megan, the sole daughter in a household of eight sons, who for years held the family together but has finally broken free and gone to England, to try to make a life of her own.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mary Lawson was born and brought up in the farming community of Blackwell, Ontario. She is a distant relative of L. M. Montgomery, author of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. Lawson moved to England after graduating from McGill University with a psychology degree in 1968. She is the author of CROW LAKE, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, and ROAD ENDS. Lawson is married, with two sons and lives in Kingston-upon-Thames. Mary Lawson and her novels can be found on GoodReads.
