Manawaka
Manawaka is a fictional town in the Canadian province of Manitoba, frequently used as a setting in novels and short stories by Margaret Laurence. The town was based on Laurence's real-life hometown of Neepawa, and should not be confused with the real-life town of Maniwaki, Quebec. The town is also used in Daniel Poliquin's novel "L'écureuil noir". The Manawaka sequence consists of the books "The Stone Angel", "A Jest of God", "The Fire-Dwellers", "A Bird in the House", and "The Diviners".
