Publisher Description

In celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of its original publication, Carol Shields's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is now available in a Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition

One of the most successful and acclaimed novels of our time, this fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett is a subtle but affecting portrait of an everywoman reflecting on an unconventional life. What transforms this seemingly ordinary tale is the richness of Daisy's vividly described inner life--from her earliest memories of her adoptive mother to her awareness of impending death.

Beautifully written...however...

A woman of 25 wouldn’t understand the limits that used to exist for women...poor Daisy.
A woman of 75 would understand and regret...poor Daisy
A woman of 55 would understand she still could have hope and a future...thank God I’m not Daisy!

The stone diaries

Major hiccup - the book only downloaded One page from each chapter - not worth the money. I hope I can get the whole book. I really wanted to read it.
