“ We'll be the ones with the books. We'll try to find a big table, but one way or the other, look for the books! ”
Announcing our June book, "The Stone Diaries" by Carol Shields, which the Pulitzer Prize in 1995. As usual, the host will provide drinks and we'll bring the snacks to share.
Hope to see you there!
More about the book, from Amazon.com:
This fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett, captured in Daisy's vivacious yet reflective voice, has been winning over readers since its publication in 1995, when it won the Pulitzer Prize. After a youth marked by sudden death and loss, Daisy escapes into conventionality as a middle-class wife and mother. Years later she becomes a successful garden columnist and experiences the kind of awakening that thousands of her contemporaries in mid-century yearned for but missed in alcoholism, marital infidelity and bridge clubs. The events of Daisy's life, however, are less compelling than her rich, vividly described inner life--from her memories of her adoptive mother to her awareness of impending death. Shields' sensuous prose and her deft characterizations make this, her sixth novel, her most successful yet.
