A highly collectible first edition (second impression)protected in a new br odart wrapper, not an ex-lib or book club edition, no markings throughout. This fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett, captured in Daisy's vivacious yet reflective voice, has been winning over readers since its publication in 1995, when it won the Pulitzer Prize. After a youth marked by sudden death and loss, Daisy escapes into conventionality as a middle-class wife and mother. Years later she becomes a successful gardening columnist and experiences the kind of awakening that thousands of her contemporaries in mid-century yearned for but missed in alcoholism, marital infidelity and bridge clubs. The events of Daisy's life, however, are less compelling than her rich, vividly described inner life-- from her memories of her adoptive mother to her awareness of impending death. Shields' sensuous prose and her deft characterizations have made this, her sixth novel, her most successful yet., Fine/Near Fine Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.

"... the story of one woman's life, a truly sensuous novel which reflects and illuminates the unsettles decades of our century. 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 place in her own life, Daisy attempts to find a way to tell her story within a novel that is itself about the limitations of autobiography."
