Walking out on a demoralizing second marriage, Maggie Lloyd leaves Vancouver to work at a fishing lodge in the interior of British Columbia. When the serenity of her new life is disturbed by the irrational jealousy of the lodge-keeper’s wife, Maggie manages to restore her own broken spirit and becomes a healer to others. Published in 1954, Swamp Angel is Ethel Wilson’s best-loved novel and remains an astute and powerful study of one woman’s integrity and the redemptive power of compassion. David Stouck’s Ethel Wilson: A Critical Biography will provide book clubs with more food for discussion.
