Carol Shields
The story of a woman dancing on the edge of a difficult life.,Ever since her husband left herâ€”seemingly vanishing into thin airâ€”Charleen Forrest has supported herself and her fifteen-year-old son on what she earns as an obscure poet and part-time gofer for an even more obscure scientific journal. But when her estranged mother remarries, prompting an unplanned reunion, Charleen finds herself moving out of her familiar existence.,A dazzling counterpoint to Shieldsâ€™s debut novel, ,Small Ceremonies,, imbued with her scathing wit and dead-on observations, ,The Box Garden, is an unforgettable portrait of a woman who finds transformationâ€”and happinessâ€”where she least expects it.
