Description

Widely regarded as a modern classic, The Stone Diaries is the story of one woman's life; that of Daisy Goodwill Flett, a seemingly ordinary woman born in Canada in 1905. Beautifully written and deeply compassionate, it follows Daisy's life through marriage, widowhood, motherhood, and old age, as she charts her own path alongside that of an unsettled century. A subtle but affective portrait of an everywoman reflecting on an unconventional life, this multi-award-winning story deals with everyday issues of existence with an extraordinary vibrancy and irresistible flair.

'The Stone Diaries reminds us again why literature matters.' -The New York Times Book Review; 'It is wonderful. A treat.' -JOANNA TROLLOPE; 'A triumphant and important book. I can think of few novels containing so much that is resonant and unforgettable, or that invite the reader to participate so fully and rewardingly.' -Sunday Telegraph; 'Her glory book.' -MARGARET ATWOOD; 'Carol Shields has explored the mysteries of life with abandon, taking unusual risks along the way. The Stone Diaries reminds us again why literature matters.' -New York Times Book Review; 'Rapturous, sensitive and funny.' -The Guardian; 'A kind of family album made into a work of art.'-New York Wednesday
