The Stone Diaries
Okay I missed this meeting so have no idea what the ladies talked about. I did read the book though on a flight home from California and enjoyed it. A bit odd at first (told from the first person, even during the birth of said person, eventually I grew accustomed to the voice of the story teller as it followed her life from birth to death. Not one of my all time favorites but definitely worth a read.

Carol Shields' The Stone Diaries irrevocably transformed our understanding of the art of storytelling-and won Shields the Pulitzer Prize in Literature. Artfully disguised as a novel masquerading as the autobiography of an ordinary woman, this seductively written tale gradually reveals itself to be a profound meditation on fact, fiction, and the vast, blurred territory that lies between.
