Blurb (from back cover): "Forty-four-year-old Reta Winters, wife, mother, writer, and translator, is living a happy life until one of her three daughters drops out of university to sit on a downtown street corner silent and cross-legged with a begging bowl in her lap and a placard round her neck that says 'Goodness.'
"The final book from Pulitzer Prize-winner Carol Shields, Unless is a candid and deeply moving novel from one of the twentieth century's most accomplished and beloved authors."
Opinion: I cannot grasp what I liked so much about this book. The style is different. I felt very connected with Reta and her story. Definitely glad I decided to get this one.
