Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

‘A remarkable writer whose major characters emerge in shining clarity... A major talent is at work here’ -- Los Angeles Times.

Alice Munro's territory is the farms and semi-rural towns of south-western Ontario.

In these dazzling stories she deals with the self-discovery of adolescence, the joys and pains of love and the despair and guilt of those caught in a narrow existence. And in sensitively exploring the lives of ordinary men and women, she makes us aware of the universal nature of their fears, sorrows, and aspirations.
