The Box Garden
Until events run wildly out of hand, Charleen Forrest manages to cope with the uncertainties of a failed marriage, trying to live her own life and raise a son on her frugal income. She is not unaware of the hazards: "family, banktellers, ex-husband, landladies, bus drivers… men on the make who want her to lie back and accept (this is what you need, baby), friends who feel sorry for her." Her resourcefulness is a delight; her uncanny observations and surprising irony reveal a witty, wry edge that is apt to make you laugh out loud.
The Stone Diaries
From her calamitous birth in Manitoba in 1905 to her journey with her father to Indiana, throughout her years as a wife, mother, and widow, Daisy Stone Goodwill has struggled to understand her place in the world. Now she listens, she observes and through sheer force of imagination, she becomes a witness to her own life: her birth, her death, and the troubling misconnections she discovers in between. With irony and humor, Carol Shields weaves together the poignant story of this twentieth-century pilgrim in search of herself, an in doing so she creates a story that is a paradigm of our unsettled era.
