In eight riveting [and] lovely (San Francisco Chronicle) stories, Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro stunningly explores the strange, often comical desires of the human heart. Superb . . . dazzling . . . Munro's feel for her own characters is as pure as Chekhov's.--The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)
Munro is indisputably a master. . . . A better book of stories can scarcely be imagined.--The Washington Post Book World Mining the silences and dark discretions of provincial life, the eight tales in The Love of a Good Woman lay bare the seamless connections and shared guilt that bind even the loneliest of individuals. A stroke victim expresses his deepest secret to a young bride in what may be the last act of intimacy left in him. A daughter confronts her father with the open secret of his life. And in the riveting title story, a selfless nurse tending a dying patient discovers the social utility of lies. Sparklingly detailed, unwaveringly courageous, these are stories that extend the limits of fiction.
