Short story collection chosen by the author. ( )

i really enjoyed this collection. i read the stories out of order, jumping around to titles that grabbed my attention. i don't know if this was a mistake or not?? but i did really appreciate munro's talent and her ability to make the everyday so alive and vivid. ( )

I am a fan of Alice Munro's and have read all her story collections. So, no surprise, I enjoyed this collection as well. The stories are presented chronologically, showing how Ms. Munro's writing has evolved and deepened over the years.

Ms. Munro can convey a lot of information about a character in a short space, which makes her stories very powerful. She examines how our experiences shape us and motivate the choices we make. Excellent writing; deep stories that find the profound in every day life. ( )
