Goodreads: 3.74/5
In story after story in this briliant new collection, Alice Munro pinpoints the moment a person is forever altered by a chance encounter, an action not taken, or a simple twist of fate. Her characters are flawed and fully human: thier stories draw us in with their quiet depth and surprise us with unexpected turns. And while most are set in her signature territory around Lake Huron, some strike even closer to home: an astonishing suite of four autobiographical talks offers an unprecendented glimpse into Munro’s own childhood. Exalted by her clarity of vision and her unparallelled gift for storytelling, Dear Life shows how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.
