Publisher's Note From her calamitous 1905 birth in Manitoba to her journey with her father to Indiana, throughout her years as a wife, mother, and widow, Daisy Stone Goodwill struggles to understand her place in her own life. Now, in old age, Daisy attempts to tell her life story within a novel that is itself about the limitations of autobiography.
Industry Reviews "Carol Shields has explored the mysteries of life with abandon, taking unusual risks along the way...'The Stone Diaries' reminds us again why literature matters." Jay Parini
