Mazo de la Roche leaped to prominence as one of the most
successful writers of the twentieth century when the first novel in
her Whiteoaks of Jalna series won the Atlantic Monthly Prize in
1927. The award was hailed not only as a triumph for Mazo but as
marking the coming of age of Canadian literature. Therefore her
popularity, which earned her a luxurious life-style that included
baronial manors in the English countryside, a retinue of devoted
servants, and a fondness for world travel, abated only with her
death in 1961. The centre of her life was her overwhelming love for
her cousin, Caroline Clement, whom she adopted as a sister and who
was her life-long companion, soulmate, and muse. The core of their
existence was a secret unwritten play-endlessly changing and
growing-that they acted out from the moment they met almost to the
end of their lives. In this insightful biography Joan Givner has
recovered the hidden life of Mazo de la Roche.
