Description
Each story by Alice Munro is like a sprawling mansion with many rooms. And each room of this mansion is perfectly furnished with furniture and infused with the personality of its inhabitants. There is a woman who argues with her lover after making love, suddenly finding herself on the edge of a moment that could mean the absolute end for the relationship, or just the beginning of another stage. There is a girl who pays boys to sleep with her due to her unattractive face and figure, which quickly turns against her when they begin to blackmail her. There is a widow who arrives in the Scottish Highlands and discovers that her husband may have been someone quite different from what she thought her whole life. Perhaps. That word is essential in the work of Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro; her stories are not straightforward. They are full of hints, unfinished matters, and hidden secrets. Coincidences, unexpected encounters, and everyday events transform in her unsentimental portrayal into mysterious chambers of human destinies.
