A “masterful” (Houston Post) collection of stories from Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro
“A spellbinding tour through a world of love, menace, and surprise . . . [Munro] is a writer of enormous gifts and perception.”–Los Angeles Times
The sisters, mothers and daughters, aunts, grandmothers, and friends in these thirteen stories, “a rich exploration of womanhood” (
Ms.), shimmer with hope and love, anger and reconciliation, as they content with their histories and their present, and what they can see of the future.
In her remarkable second collection, Alice Munro demonstrates the precise observation, straightforward prose style, and masterful technique hailed by John Updike, who wrote in the
New York Times Book Review that “one must go back to Tolstoy and Chekhov . . . for comparable largeness.”
