Memoirs of the stone

This novel achieved the best sales rate nationwide, won the Governor General's Award, and was listed on the final shortlist for the Booker Prize. "A miracle novel, a memorial as solid as rock, immortalizing the transient nature of all lives.." MacLennan "The memoirs of stone remind us once again of the importance of literature." New York Times Book Review The memoirs of stone is a story of one woman's life; a sensory-pleasing novel that shows and sheds light on the turbulent decades of our century. Daisy Goodwill, born in 1905, drifts through the chapters of childhood, marriage, widowhood, second marriage, motherhood, and aging. Daisy, confused by her inability to understand her own role, seeks to find a way to tell her story within a novel that itself talks about the limitations and shortcomings of autobiographies. "A well-crafted song of thanks for all the personal stories we cherish and hold dear." Boston Globe
