A wickedly funny (Newsweek) collection of ten short stories from Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro, one of the most eloquent and gifted writers of contemporary fiction (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times).
Each of her collections demonstrates such linguistic skill, delicacy of vision, and . . . moral strength and clarity.--Chicago Tribune A woman haunted by dreams of her dead mother. An adulterous couple stepping over the line where the initial excitement ends and the pain begins. A widow visiting a Scottish village in search of her husband's past--and instead discovering unsetting truths about a total stranger. The miraculously accomplished stories in this collection not only astonish and delight, but also convey the unspoken mysteries at the heart of all human experience. The mastery--the almost numinous ability to say the unsayable--makes Friend of My Youth a genuine literary event.
