Winner of the 1995 Pulitzer Prize. The story is a fictionalised autobiography
of Daisy Goodwill Flett. The novel
details Daisy’s long, at times mundane, life. It is structured in ten
chapters starting with her Birth in Canada in 1905 and ending with her death in
a nursing home in Florida. I liked the use of different narrative voices and
devices – it is written in a mix of first person, third person and uses letters, lists,
tributes to tell the story. The book contains a family
tree and family photographs to complete the biographical feel. I enjoyed more sections than others.
