The Love of a Good Woman: Stories -- Alice Munro, Paperback
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.
