This is a collection of stories about the childhood and early adulthood of Del, a girl living in small-town Ontario. It's a coming-of-age story told in episodes. I've always loved Alice Munro's insightful examination of the activities and relationships of everyday life, done in a way that makes these things seem anything but ordinary and dull. I really enjoyed this collection; however, my favourite Munro work remains Who Do You Think You Are (also published as The Beggar Maid).

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Katethegreyt in nearby Stratford. We had a lovely chat and I passed this book to her.

Adding to my TBR list. I am so embarrassed. Received this last summer from Mathgirl 40 at our wonderful meetup and forgot to make an entry.
