Negative Positive
Title: Superb, as always
Review: Carol Shields is a magnificent writer who fully deserves every prize she has garnered, and many that have not been invented yet. Stone Diaries was as gripping and finely crafted as everything she has touched. Not a shallow read, but one that endures. I adore this author, and cannot fathom the one stars here. I would have given it six stars or one hundred, but five will suffice.
