Trade Paperback - New The culmination and completion of Margaret Laurence's celebrated Manawaka cycle, The Diviners is an epic novel, now available as a Penguin Modern Classic. This is the powerful story of an independent woman who refuses to abandon her search for love.

Again and again, Morag is forced to test her strength against the world--and finally achieves the life she had determined would be hers.
