Literary Agent:    n/a


Betty Lambert was a Canadian writer with a distinctive voice that spoke through her seventy-five diverse plays and her only novel, Crossings, in a way that once heard could not be easily forgotten. She was once called by a reviewer the Margaret Laurence of Vancouver but of course she was really the Betty Lambert of Vancouver. Her vision was her own.
