About the Author:
In an original collaboration two award-winning authors, Carol Shields and Blanche Howard, have written an immensely enjoyable novel which gives us both sides of a story about the breakdown of traditional roles, rules and communication in a marriage. A Celibate Season is the story of a married couple, Jocelyn and Charles, and their self-imposed separation of ten months when she accepts a job in a city more than a thousand miles away from her family.
Carol Shields novels include Larry’s Party (1997), winner of the 1998 Orange Prize; The Stone Diaries (1993), winner of the Pulitzer Prize and short-listed for the Orange Prize. Born and brought up in Chicago, Carol Shields has lived in Canada since 1957. Blanche Howard is the author of three previous novels.
