A book by one of my favourite authors. 1998. TBR.
www.amzon.com:
"Alice Munro has a genius for entering the lives of ordinary people and capturing the passions and contradictions that lie just below the surface. In this brilliant new collection she takes mainly the lives of women - unruly, ungovernable, unpredictable, unexpected, funny, sexy and completely recognisable - and brings their hidden desires bubbling to the surface. The love of a good woman is not as pure and virtuous as it seems: as in her title story it can be needy and murderous. Here are women behaving badly, leaving husbands and children, running off with unstuitable lovers, pushing everyday life to the limits, and if they don't behave badly, they think surprising and disturbing thoughts."

I love the way Munro writes about quite ordinary lives and ordinary characters, not telling too much, just the essential to understand. These short stories need to be read slowly, not in a hurry.

I loved these short stories! They were all equally great, the last one obviously still playing over in my mind. Alice Munro is one of a kind!
