Check out "The Stone Diaries" by Carol Shields. A book that started out a little slow for me but rolled and rolled, picking up steam until I felt like I knew the characters, was personally invested in their life. And funny. Boy, the lady had me laughing. Humor, I've come to believe, is the most versital tool in writing. It can slice up the anatomy of every emotion, especially sorrow, with the precision of a scalpel.
