The Stone Angel | Setting

The novel has two settings: a frame and a narrative, both set in a realistic representation of Canada. The narrative is set in Hagar Shipley's memory, mostly in and near the fictional town of Manawaka, Manitoba, where she was born and grew up, and where her husband and younger son John died. The frame is set in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Hagar lives with her older son Marvin and his wife Doris.
