| Summary Note |
From her birth in Manitoba in 1905, to growing up with her father in Indiana, and throughout her years as a wife, mother, and widow. Daisy Goddwill Flett has struggled to understand her place in the world. Now she is 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 dicovers in between. With irony and humor, Carol Shields weaves together this poignant story of a twentieth-century pilgrim in search of herself. |
