14 new short stories the author has written it and it is very personal in it. Profound I find particularly the last four stories of this book. She writes about this:
"They form a separate unit, one that feels autobiographical, but the facts to not always".
Alice Munro is a separate and easy-to-read writing style and the name of short stories is aptly. They often begin in an unexpected place, then is written chronologically backward or forward and the stories often also have an open circuit.
Their protagonists are mostly women, who she describes in all facets of their diverse femininity. So she begins her first story with the young Greta, in addition to their right colorless man wishes and desires, the he does not recognize. She is a poet and written poems, dismissed from their Famlilie as inconsequential. Greta sends her written poems to the magazine "The Echo Answer", two of which are published. Thus, the story takes its course.
Many of her stories take place in the Canadian home of Alice Munro. The author approaches the reader with the characters of its protagonists touch. Their stories are written for me as out of life, reality, sentimental and profound. Read quickly and make thoughtful.
A book that is worth reading!
