NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro come nine short stories with “the intimacy of a family photo album and the organic feel of real life” (
The New York Times
)
“In Munro’s hands, as in Chekhov’s, a short story is more than big enough to hold the world—and to astonish us, again and again.”—
Chicago Tribune
FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD • A
TIME
BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • ONE OF THE
NEW YORK TIMES
’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
In the nine breathtaking stories that make up this collection, Alice Munro creates narratives that loop and swerve like memory, conjuring up characters as thorny and contradictory as people we know ourselves.
The fate of a strong-minded housekeeper with a “frizz of reddish hair,” just entering the dangerous country of old-maidhood, is unintentionally (and deliciously) reversed by a teenaged girl’s practical joke. A college student visiting her aunt for the first time and recognizing the family furniture stumbles on a long-hidden secret and its meaning in her own life. An inveterate philanderer finds the tables turned when he puts his wife into an old-age home. A young cancer patient stunned by good news discovers a perfect bridge to her suddenly regained future. A woman recollecting an afternoon’s wild lovemaking with a stranger realizes how the memory of that encounter has both changed for her and sustained her through a lifetime.
Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage
is Munro at her best—tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.
