From Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro, a true master of the form (Salman Rushdie), comes the brilliant short story that inspired the major motion picture starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent--featuring a Preface from Sarah Polley
I've always loved Alice Munro's writing, but this story punctured something. I read it, stunned, and let it sit there. It seemed to enter like a bullet. So concise and unsentimental, nothing to cushion the blow of its impact. When I was finished, I couldn't stop weeping.--Sarah Polley, from the Preface

Alice Munro has long been heralded for her penetrating, lyrical prose, and in The Bear Came Over the Mountain--the basis for Sarah Polley's film Away from Her--her prodigious talents are once again on display. As she follows Grant, a retired professor whose wife, Fiona, begins gradually to drift away from him, we slowly see how a lifetime of intimate details can create a marriage, and how mysterious the bonds of love really are.
