This review is from: Small Ceremonies (Paperback)
A little jewel of a novel, her first, and one that I'd somehow missed before. I particularly like her reflections on Susanna Moodie.

This review is from: Small Ceremonies (Paperback)
Pulitzer Prize winning Carol Shields presents a most haunting personal reality in "Small Ceremonies."

Her protagonist's train-of-consciousness reflections about her experiences are written in the first person and present tense, and bring this amusing character into sharp focus as she copes with her eccentric husband, her family and her career.

The result is a thought provoking read to which all of us can relate, for these 'small ceremonies' enter into our lives too, and all of us have our own way to consider them.

It is the unusual way that daily life is presented, and the clever commentary upon it, that is so delightful in Small Ceremonies, and makes it such a pleasure to read.
