The work explores gender, sex and loyalty and betrayal within love and friendship.įall on Your Knees still resonates with Canadian readers and is now being adapted to stage in 2023 - essentially bringing things full circle in terms of her designs on art, performance and literature. Her 2022 novel Fayne, her first in eight years, is about Charlotte Bell, a young woman growing up in the 19th century in a vast and lonely estate straddling the border between England and Scotland.
Her work includes the 2003 novel The Way the Crow Flies, another Giller Prize finalist, and the 2014 novel Adult Onset. The book won the 1997 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for best first book and it was a finalist for Canada Reads in 2010, when it was defended by track star Perdita Felicien. In 1996, MacDonald released her debut novel Fall on Your Knees and was shortlisted for the Giller Prize. In addition to writing, she was the host of CBC's Doc Zone for eight years. She's the author of several bestselling novels. MacDonald, born in Germany, now lives between Toronto and Montreal. Rooted in theatrical and performance traditions and background, MacDonald's literary novels crackle with live energy as they use her own lived experience and perspective to illustrate themes of gender, sex, identity and family secrets. For writer, broadcaster and playwright Ann-Marie MacDonald, the play's the thing.
