Won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1995) and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction (1994). Also shortlisted or longlisted for 1 other award.
The Stone Diaries won the Pulitzer Prize. This fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett is a subtle but affecting portrait of an everywoman reflecting on an unconventional life. What transforms this seemingly ordinary tale is the richness of Daisy's vividly described inner life--from her earliest memories of her adoptive mother to her awareness of impending death.
