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.
