Hello, and welcome to my blog dedicated to Carol Shields' novel Unless. The story outlines the struggles of a woman and a mother who is attempting to find reason in her daughter's choice to live on the streets. For the main character Reta Winters, this raises her thoughts on woman's place in the world and as readers we following along on her often funny and always touching story.
My blog offers what I hope are thoughtful considerations and reflections upon what I saw as important parts of the novel, as well as links which will allow a more three dimensional view of Unless. The websites offer a variety of sources from interviews with the author, reviews on the book, and links to support groups for parents and teens. All tie to the book, be it through the author's work for women and as a female Canadian author, or directions to a Youth Support Center in Toronto, the setting for Shields' book.
It is my hopes that my postings will shine a light on a great piece of writing from one of our many talented Canadian authors.
