Review:
"A collection that sees her delving even deeper and with glittering expertise into a fictional terrain she has made her own for 40 years now" -- Peter Kemp * Sunday Times * "The pre-eminent master of the short story... all delivered by her spare, wonderful prose" -- David Mattin * Independent on Sunday * "If there is one writer who proves that the short story should never be deemed the uninspiring younger sibling of the novel, it is Munro" -- Melissa McClements * Financial Times * "This is a deeply moving and contemplative book. If it is a valediction, then it is a magnificent one" -- Mary Morrissy * Irish Times * "Mesmerising and cleverly interlinked, these stories are well balanced - neither overly inventive nor stolidly factual. Ms Munro's light touch and her sensitive embellishment of the truth result in a book that is illuminated by the patterns of life repeating themselves over the years" * Economist *
