NICHOLAS GIARDINI is one of Carol Shields’s twelve grandchildren. A committed reader, he enjoys books that explore character and self-perception. Carol Shields died when Nicholas was eleven. He remembered her as a warm and intense person. While carrying out research for this book in the archives, reading letters, lectures and notes, he came to know his grandmother as a person and began to understand more fully the role she played in the world of ideas, and in the lives of her friends, fellow writers and readers.
