Itty Bitty Book Review: "Swamp Angel"

"Swamp Angel" by Ethel Wilson


This was a Brock House Bookclub choice. I read it when I was 20 years old at UBC. I remember it being ok but I was much more interested in the D.H. Lawrence and other modern Briish writers I was also reading in another course. At the time the wonderful descriptions of B.C. scenery were rather lost on me. It seemed very ordinary....I wanted to go to London and Paris where there was real life and not dull boring Vancouver.  I certainly got a lot more out of the novel this time round.
