Rachel Rachel by Margaret Laurence
5.0
4.5 STARS
"In this celebrated novel, Margaret Laurence writes with grace, power, and deep compassion about Rachel Cameron, a woman struggling to come to terms with love, with death, with herself and her world.
Trapped in a milieu of deceit and pettiness - her own and that of others - Rachel longs for love, and contact with another human being who shares her rebellious spirit. Through her summer affair with Nick Kazlik, a schoolmate from earlier years, she learns at last to reach out to another person and to make herself vulnerable." (From Amazon)
I loved the movie Rachel, Rachel starring Joanne Woodward (and directed by her sexy husband, Paul Newman). The novel and book are both a must read/watch. Rachel is a "spinster" teacher who dreams of a more exciting life and living with her mother over the funeral parlour is starting to weigh down her spirit. Enters a handsome boy from her past.
