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.

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