Encore Book Club - The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence
For our February read, we’ll dive into "The Stone Angel" by Margaret Laurence--a powerful and unforgettable novel about memory, aging, pride, and reckoning. Through the voice of ninety-year-old Hagar Shipley, Margaret Laurence tells the story of a fiercely independent woman looking back on a life shaped by stubbornness, love, loss, and unyielding strength. As Hagar reflects on her past, long-buried truths surface, revealing the cost of pride and the possibility of grace—even late in life. This classic novel offers a profound exploration of identity, resilience, and what it means to come to terms with one’s own story.
