Ok, well not really, I just misthought that Atwood had written Stone(d) Angel. I just read Handmaid's Tale and really enjoyed it, so I was considering going back to actually read Stone Angel [I was supposed to in highschool, but managed to fake my way out of it]. Damn these female Canadian powerhouses. xinit wrote: 29th Apr, 2008 23:14 (local) You're not alone in the Atwood / Laurence confusion; I was thinking of Handmaid's Tale when writing this... I have heard the book is good, but people say things like that about books that that are supposed to be Great Works (anything Hemmingway scribbled out for example) but which they haven't actually read. Maybe I'll wimp out and get the audio book at the library :) From livejournal:

Now that's a movie plot. I hope Kari Skogland (the write director of The Stone Angel movie) gives this book a 2nd look when she goes questing around for her next project. The Stone Angel movie is excellent by the way - I saw it at TIFF 07 and if you like Margaret Laurence, you'll love the movie. Even my husband was impressed and he teaches Can Lit at Queens University. I always thought The Stone Angel was Margaret Laurence’s best book, until i gave The Diviners a good re reading last summer.
