title: Unless: A Novel (P.S.)
author:  Carol Shields 
description: The best of her novels...fearless, smart, funny, beautifully written. (New Orleans Times-Picayune )<br /><br />Remarkably subtle and unsettling...one of those books that make you regret that reading is a solitary pleasure. (Christian Science Monitor )<br /><br />All the trademark Shields delights are robustly present: idiosyncratic plotting; limber prose...deep compassion...tart commentary and irreverent wit. (Orlando Sentinel )<br /><br />Nothing short of astonishing. (The New Yorker )<br /><br />Shieldss novels and short stories are intensely imagined, humanely generous, beautifully sustained and impeccably detailed. (Publishers Weekly )<br /><br />Relentlessly fine...imagined with style and vigor, melancholoy and wisdom. (San Diego Union-Tribune )<br /><br />Truly, a miracle of language and perception. (The Oregonian (Portland) )<br /><br />Entirely satisfying Shields voice, tender and moderated at all times, remains wise and very readable. (Houston Chronicle )<br /><br />All novelists worth their fictional salt can create fine characters; Carol Shields creates lives.  (New York Times Book Review )<br /><br />A superb new novel...a graceful coda, an arabesque performed over an abyss. (Time Magazine )
