Marion Quednau (born 1952) is a Canadian author, poet and children's writer. Her novel, The Butterfly Chair, won the 1987 Books in Canada First Novel Award.
This emotionally rich novel explores the life of a child raised in an abusive home; her mature efforts at a kind of dreamy Jungian therapy while sitting in "a butterfly chair," which contributes to her understanding of love as "a measure of both forgiveness and blame."
SUPERIOR CONDITION overall: a clean and bright unclipped jacket with some rubbing to its spine; in cloth with a slight bruise to its upper right corner also ruffling the dj.
