Anne's Book Club - Carol Shields

Book Club on May 1 will celebrate Carol Shields. I have included a list of her books, but I would suggested focusing on the last 3 (Stone Diaries, Larry's Party and Unless). I have copies of all 3, and I have read the first 2 fairly recently, if anyone wants to borrow either one.

Food theme: TBA




Here is a list:
▪ Small Ceremonies, 1976

▪ The Box Garden, 1977 (Later published in a joint edition with Small Ceremonies as Duet)

▪ Happenstance, 1980

▪ A Fairly Conventional Woman, 1982

▪ Swann: A Mystery, 1987 (UK title: Mary Swann)

▪ A Celibate Season, 1991 (with Blanche Howard)

▪ The Republic of Love, 1992

▪ The Stone Diaries, 1993 (winner of the Governor General's Award,

National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize)

▪ Larry's Party, 1997 (winner of the Orange Prize, and the Prix de Livre)

▪ Unless, 2002 (winner of the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, shortlisted for the 2003 Orange Prize)

The Lacuna - March 30, 2011

Hello fellow book lovers,

The next book to read and discuss is The Lacuna, by Barbara Kingsolver. I hope you're enjoying it. As it's based mostly in Mexico, it'll go without saying that the theme of our next rendezvous will be Mexican.

Please join me and other book lovers at my place Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 6:30pm.

I will make veggie quesidillas and have some tortilla chips and salsa as a tapa (did I mention everything will be in spanish too?)

Looking forward to seeing you all!
Jill
