| Description: | Select Guide Rating A beautiful, darkly ironic novel of misunderstanding and missed opportunites. Shields reveals the mysteries of love, culture and spirituality shimmering beneath the surface of a quiet woman's life. 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. |
