The Stone Diaries is a sublime work of imaginative prose, a matryoshka of a book in which figures nest within figures, all exhibiting artistic and family resemblance. The only novel ever to win both a Pulitzer Prize, America’s most prestigious literary award, and Canada’s Governor General’s Award, Carol Shields’s masterpiece recounts the life of one Daisy Goodwill Flett. As in her other books, Carol Shields represents the difficult blessings of ordinary life as authentically as any novelist you’re likely to read—and more cheeringly than you might imagine possible. Showing us how we piece together our prayer of being, she may even help us answer it.
