Synopses & Reviews
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 discovers unsettling truths about a total stranger. The ten miraculously stories in Alice Munro's latest collection not only astonish and delight but also convey the unspoken mysteries at the heart of all human experience. That mastery--the almost numinous ability to say the unsayable--makes this book a genuine literary event.
