Book Description

0771047460 978-0771047466 October 21, 1989
In a writing career spanning nearly three decades, Margaret Laurence became one of the most celebrated and widely read authors in the world.

In this, her final work, Margaret Laurence reveals the story of her fascinating life, the process of her writing, and the people and emotional journeys which accompanied it. She relates her experiences living in different cultures; the issues and causes she so passionately upheld; her personal battle against censorship. She also pays tribute to the three women from whom she drew important spiritual strength.

Including a selection of her articles, speeches, and letters – many never before published – and photographs selected by Margaret Laurence from her personal family albums, Dance on the Earth is a book of celebration and exploration in which Margaret Laurence speaks openly about her place in the world as a woman, a writer, and a concerned human being.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A memoir in the true sense of the term. The secrets Laurence shares…are the most important ones: the secret of who she was, the secret of how she survived.”
Kingston Whig-Standard

“An impressive last testament and fitting memorial to a remarkable woman.”
Globe and Mail

“As a powerful celebration of life, Dance on the Earth is cause for jubilation.”
Calgary Herald
