de la Roche, Mazo

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

de la Roche, Mazo (1885-1961)

Canadian novelist. Experience of life in an area of southern Ontario characterized by large estates centred on big houses gave her the idea for the immensely popular 15-novel saga of the Whiteoaks of Jalna 1927-60, characterized by primitive passions seen against a background of nature and animal life and given unity by the brooding presence of the Anglo-Irish matriarch Adeline Whiteoak and her descendants.
