I was really disappopinted with this as I had enjoyed The Stone Diaries. I preferred it when they serialised it on Radio 4 but they may be because it was abridged!!
Will take to Leeds meet-up tonight.

Nobody wanted this book at the Leeds Bookcrossing Meetup :(
So, I've swiped it to take it to the Bookcrossing UK Yahoo! Group meet in Nottingham on 25 September.

Caught at the meetup. I have read some Carol Shields before, and enjoyed it, as I did this one, albeit somewhat lukewarmly. She's good at creating interesting situations that grab your interest right away - woman writer's 20 year old daughter, beautiful, brilliant, everything going for her, has given up college to sit on a street corner, begging, and holding a sign reading "GOODNESS". Why?

One of the themes is whether women writers can/do write big, important literature, and whether they would be taken seriously by male critics etc.

Interesting, well-written, funny and sad, though occasionally it did feel a bit, well, ladylike...a bit...minor.
