    carol shields' novel Unless is hard to get into but give it time andyou will be rewarded with a moving and intelligent narrative.

    Extractions: BBC News Online entertainment staff If you are the kind of reader who buys a book based on first page impressions, Carol Shields's Unless is likely to be consigned to your pile of great dust-gatherers of all time. A piece of literature that begins as depressingly as Unless with the words: "It happens that I am going through a period of great unhappiness and loss just now," is hardly screaming to be read. But the name with which Shields has christened her work, with its all-embracing sense of possibility, should act as a firm guidance when approaching her book. Adopt an attitude of patience and objectivity and between the covers you will unlock an intelligent, moving, if not wholly satisfying, work of prose fiction. The book becomes increasing stimulating as it progresses

    http://www.salon.com/books/review/2002/05/23/shields/
    
    Extractions: By Laura Miller At one point in Carol Shields' new novel, the narrator, Reta Winters, contemplates a recurring dream in which she stands in her kitchen, charged with preparing a meal for guests, and discovers only "a single egg, or maybe a tomato," in the refrigerator. She doesn't consider the dream particularly symbolic. "For more than twenty years I've been responsible for producing three meals a day for the several individuals I live with. I may not be conscious of this obligation, but surely I must always, at some level, be calculating and apportioning the amount of food in the house and the number of bodies to be fed." There are some readers who simply cannot muster any interest in a novel in which the main character's mind can be preoccupied with such matters. Those readers may want to leave right now: The Chuck Palahniuk books are on the second shelf on your left as you go out. And have fun.

67. READ Magazine - CELEBRATING CAROL SHIELDS
    FEATURE CELEBRATING carol shields By Nino Ricci Excerpted from his speech in Toronto,April 2002 BACK TO TOP, a letter from Marjorie Anderson and carol shields.  
    http://www.randomhouse.ca/readmag/volume3issue2/features/carolshields.htm
    
    Extractions: Signing copies fo Unless in her kitchen, April 2002 When I first read The Stone Diaries I wanted to write a letter to Carol to tell her how moved I was by it, and how much I had learned from it. But the time passed and I did not write; and then the book was being so continuously showered with accolades that I hardly dared anymore to add my own little voice to the chorus. I regret now that I did not write that letter, and so am glad to have had this chance to redress, in part, that failure. I’m glad as well of the excuse this evening gave me to reread The Stone Diaries. What struck me in this recent reading was how much the book is about reinvention, about the possibility Early on we thought Norah’s problem was a boyfriend problem. And Ben Abbot really is a boy, with a boy’s face and gangling frame; it was this that Norah loved in the beginning, I suspect, the thoroughly innocent leanness of his shoulders, neck, the ribs bursting out above his jeans, barely covered by flesh. If he had an aura, it would be coloured by the state of beatitude. By thirty he will have acquired a supple, sexual bulk, but now he is quickness and nerve and seems always willing to be disturbed by his own body, taking its awkwardness as part of the gift of youth. I’ve never yet seen him sit back in a chair, relaxed. He perches, his eyes watchful, his mouth just a little open, a boy’s observant, greedy mouth.
