She was taken to England at the age of two after her mother died. Seven years later her father died, and in 1898 she came to Vancouver to live with her maternal grandmother. She received her teacher’s certificate from the Vancouver Normal School in 1907 and taught in many local elementary schools until her marriage in 1921.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1930s Wilson published a few short stories and began a series of family reminiscences which were later transformed into \u003ci\u003eThe Innocent Traveller\u003c\/i\u003e. Her first published novel, \u003ci\u003eHetty Dorval\u003c\/i\u003e, appeared in 1947, and her fiction career ended fourteen years later with the publication of her story collection, \u003ci\u003eMrs. Golightly and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e. Through her compassionate and often ironic narration, Wilson explores in her fiction the moral lives of her characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor her contribution to Canadian literature, Wilson was awarded the Canada Council Medal in 1961 and the Lorne Pierce Medal of the Royal Society of Canada in 1964. Her husband died in 1966, and she spent her later years in seclusion and ill-health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEthel Wilson died in Vancouver in 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45241035325601,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780771094798","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780771094798.jpg?v=1761532242","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-equations-of-love-paperback-by-ethel-wilson-afterword-by-alice-munro","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
