unless by carol shields. Rita Winters is a writer who lives a "normal" life with three daughters - until one day she finds her oldest daughter Norah sitting on the corner of Bathhurst and Bloor with a sign around her neck saying GOODNESS. Some people said this was too predictable, but I thought it was really well done - of course I've only read

Check out Carol Shields. You might like Larry's Party as well as Unless; I haven't read any of her other work, but I'm sure it's good. She does GREAT characterization. I know Seattle Public Library has Larry's Party; I haven't checked for any of the others. They probably have The Stone Diaries because she won the Pulitzer for that. :)
