Synopsis
Mary Novik was raised in a large family in Victoria, British Columbia. Labeled a "bookworm" by her grade two teacher, Mary has been passionate about books all her life. She was inspired to write Conceit when she was visiting St. Paul's Cathedral in London and discovered that John Donne's effigy was the only monument that survived the Great Fire of 1666. That night, back in her hotel, Mary had a dream in which his daughter Pegge braved the holocaust to rescue her father's statue. Why? From that one question, Conceit began to unfold. Called "a magnificent novel of seventeenth-century London" by The Globe and Mail , Conceit has been warmly received by book clubs and was chosen as a Book of the Year by both Quill & Quire and The Globe and Mail . Mary lives in Vancouver and is at work on a new novel.
