The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields
5.0

Indiana limestone, Tudor Hall, stone quarries near Bloomington - something so familiar about these details that drew me in to the story. The author is, in turn, brisk and contemplative, funny and profound. The clunky attempts and misses of love and sexuality are heartbreaking but life goes on, until it doesn’t. Pulitzer Prize winner of 1995 - I can see why.
