The Essential Mary Lawson 2-Book Bundle
Crow Lake; The Other Side of the Bridge
Mary Lawson’s #1 internationally bestselling novels are stunning in their storytelling appeal, for their unforgettable characters who have become beloved to many thousands of readers, for their depth of feeling, and in their nuanced depiction of life in small-town rural Canada.
