- Mary_Lawson abstract "Mary Lawson (born 1946) is a Canadian novelist.Born in southwestern Ontario, she spent her childhood in Blackwell, Ontario and is a distant relative of L. M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables. Her father worked as a research chemist. With a psychology degree in hand from McGill University, Lawson took a trip to Britain and ended up accepting a job as an industrial psychologist. She married a British psychologist, Richard Mobbs. Lawson spent her summers in the north, and the landscape inspired her to use northern Ontario as her settings for both her novels. She has two grown up sons and lives in Kingston-Upon-Thames.In a book review Terry Rigelhof, from The Globe and Mail, stated: \"Within days you'll see people reading Crow Lake in odd places as they take quick breaks from the business of their lives. You'll also hear people say 'I stayed up all night reading this book by Mary Lawson. Mary Lawson, Mary Lawson. Remember the name.\"Robert Fulford of the National Post wrote an article about Lawson describing her process towards becoming a novelist. After settling down, she wrote short fiction for women's magazines and then graduated to her first novel. Lawson was in her 50's when she wrote it, and spent years perfecting it. She decided she didn't like her first novel and then spent 5 more years writing until Crow Lake was complete. It took her 3 more years to find a publisher.On the National Post's Paperback Fiction Best-Sellers list in 2007, Lawson’s second novel, The Other Side of the Bridge, took the number one spot.An article featuring Mary Lawson was published in the McGill News magazine by Neale Mcdevitt and Daniel Mccabe. After her first novel, the article describes Mary Lawson as surprised by her success: \"I really didn’t know what I had done right. I didn’t know if I could do it again.\" Her first novel, Crow Lake, was published in 22 countries and landed her a guest appearance on the Today Show, and several positive reviews in the New York Times, the Guardian, and many other publications. Her second novel, The Other Side of the Bridge, also did well. She received good reviews from The Independent, and the Toronto Star. This second novel held promise of being on the Maclean magazine's list of Canadian bestsellers.A French language edition of Crow Lake was translated by Cécile Arnaud, was published as Le choix des Morrison by Belfond in 2003.".
