User:Anitaworditup/Dance on the Earth: A Memoir

Dance on Earth is a memoir by Margaret Laurence. Published in 1989 by McClelland and Stewart, this is Laurence's last literary work.

The memoir is not structured as a chronological autobiography but rather as an exploration of the "broader themes that interested and absorbed" the author. In particular she relates her feelings about mothers and pays special tribute to her mother Verna Wemyss who died when Laurence was four, her aunt Margaret Wemyss who raised her, and her mother-in-law Elsie Laurence.

Dance on Earth includes a selection of articles, speeches, letters, poetry and photographs.
