À propos de cet audio
In this celebrated novel, Margaret Laurence writes with grace, power, and deep compassion about Rachel Cameron, a woman struggling to come to terms with love, with death, with herself and her world.
Trapped in a milieu of deceit and pettiness–her own and that of others–Rachel longs for love, and contact with another human being who shares her rebellious spirit. Through her summer affair with Nick Kazlik, a schoolmate from earlier years, she learns at last to reach out to another person and to make herself vulnerable.
A Jest of God won the Governor General’s Award for 1966 and was released as the successful film, Rachel, Rachel. The novel stands as a poignant and singularly enduring work by one of the world’s most distinguished authors.

I got nothing but a headache from this story
Won the Governor General’s Award for 1966. That explains a lot. The story is old-fashioned… the dialogue, the relationships, painfully outdated. I felt like slamming my head into a wall listening to the conversations between Rachel and her mother. Sickening control by mother and disgusting lack of assertiveness by daughter. I garnered no fondness, sympathy, or respect for main character Rachel so the book was a waste of time. Narration was dull.
