An extraordinary collection (San Francisco Chronicle) of twenty-four short stories from Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro.
Superb . . . Munro is a writer to be cherished.--NPR
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Minneapolis Star Tribune A selection of Alice Munro's most accomplished and powerfully affecting short fiction from 1995 to 2014, these stories encompass the fullness of human experience, from the wild exhilaration of first love (in Passion) to the punishing consequences of leaving home (Runaway) or ending a marriage (The Children Stay). And in stories that Munro has described as closer to the truth than usual--Dear Life, Working for a Living, and Home--we glimpse the author's own life. Subtly honed with her hallmark precision, grace, and compassion, these stories illuminate the quotidian yet astonishing particularities in the lives of men and women, parents and children, friends and lovers as they discover sex, fall in love, part, quarrel, suffer defeat, set off into the unknown, or find a way to be in the world.
