  • "In celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of its original publication, Carol Shields's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is now available in a Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition One of the most successful and acclaimed novels of our time, this fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett is a subtle but affecting portrait of an everywoman reflecting on an unconventional life. What transforms this seemingly ordinary tale is the richness of Daisy's vividly described inner life -- from her earliest memories of her adoptive mother to her awareness of impending death."

  • "Madelief Goedewil komt in 1905 op wonderlijke wijze ter wereld in Manitoba, midden op de Canadese prairies. In een tiental episodes beschrijft De stenen dagboeken haar leven tot haar dood in de jaren negentig. De lezer maakt kennis met Madelief via haar eigen bewustzijn, maar ook vanuit het perspectief van haar echtgenoten, haar vriendinnen, haar kinderen en kleinkinderen. Madeliefs leven, dat bijna de hele twintigste eeuw omvat, is op een aantal opmerkelijke gebeurtenissen na betrekkelijk gewoon. Door de bijzondere manier waarop Carol Shields haar roman heeft opgebouwd en door haar subtiele verteltrant wordt duidelijk dat juist dat `alledaagse vol fascinatie en mysterie is. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."

  • "The Stone Diaries is one ordinary woman's story of her journey through life. Born in 1905, Daisy Stone Goodwill drifts through the roles of child, wife, widow, and mother, and finally into her old age. Bewildered by her inability to understand her place in her own life, Daisy attempts to find a way to tell her story within a novel that is itself about the limitations of autobiography. Her life is vivid with incident, and yet she feels a sense of powerlessness. She."@en

Daisy's struggle to find a place for herself in her own life is a paradigm of the unsettled decades of our era. A witty and compassionate anatomist of the human heart, Carol Shields has made distinctively her own that place where the domestic collides with the elemental. With irony and humor she."@en
