Mary's first novel, Conceit (Doubleday 2007), is the story of Pegge, the daughter of the English love poet, John Donne, a contemporary of Shakespeare. Conceit was chosen as a Book of the Year by both Quill & Quire and The Globe and Mail. As well as being longlisted for the Giller Prize, it won BC's top fiction award, the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize.
