Mary Lawson
Mary Lawson (born 1946) is a Canadian novelist who grew up in Blackwell, Ontario, between Sarnia and Brights Grove.
A distant relative of L.M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, Lawson graduated from McGill University with a psychology degree in 1968 before moving to England.
She married in Ontario, raised two sons, and now lives in Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey.
Her novels, published by Knopf Canada, are set in Northern Ontario.
Crow Lake, her debut published at age fifty-six after years of writing and editing, established her as a masterful storyteller with confident prose and skillful character development.
