Gail Anderson-Dargatz

Gail Anderson-Dargatz (born in Salmon Arm, British Columbia) is a Canadian novelist.

Her first novel, 1997's The Cure for Death by Lightning, was an experimental yet accessible work whose story unfolded partly through narrative and partly through a collection of recipes and household tips belonging to the narrator's mother. It was a Canadian bestseller that year, making Anderson-Dargatz one of the most popular new names in Canadian literature, and was nominated for the Giller Prize.

She published A Recipe for Bees in 1999, and A Rhinestone Button in 2002.

She also published the short story collection The Miss Hereford Stories in 1994.
