Publisher Description
With her peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief but spacious and timeless stories, Alice Munro illumines the moment a life is shaped -- the moment a dream, or sex, or perhaps a simple twist of fate turns a person out of his or her accustomed path and into another way of being. Suffused with Munro's clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these stories (set in the world Munro has made her own: the countryside and towns around Lake Huron) about departures and beginnings, accidents, dangers, and homecomings both virtual and real, paint a vivid and lasting portrait of how strange, dangerous, and extraordinary the ordinary life can be.

Dear Life Oh Dear!
I realized at about the fifth short story that this author does not make me care about her characters. I persevered, seeking nuggets and found a few but I would not recommend this author to anyone. She is well "awarded" but this isn't the first time I disagree with the "academy"! Furthermore only one of nine in my book club liked this book.
Makes no sense
Reads like random facts not connected with each other. Hard to read.
