Born in 1905, Daisy Goodwill drifts through the chapters of childhood, marriage, widowhood, remarriage, motherhood and old age. Bewildered by her inability to understand her own role, Daisy attempts to find a way to tell her own story within a novel that is itself about the limitations of autobiography. The Stone Diaries is a truly sensuous novel that reflects and illuminates the unsettled decades of our century. - back cover of the 2002 Vintage Canada paperback edition. Winner of the Pulitzer
