Collection of short stories from a Canadian author whose previous titles include "The Progress Of Love, Friend Of My Youth" and "The Beggar Maid".

Rezension zu „The Love of a Good Woman “
Superb...Long ago, Virginia Woolf described George Eliot as one of the few writers 'for grown-up people.' The same might today, and with equal justice, be said of Alice Munro.--Michael Gorra, "New York Times Book Review" A writer for the ages--Dan Cryer, "Newsday" Alice Munro is indisputably a master. Like all great writers, she helps sharpen perception...Her imagination is fearless...A better book of stories can scarcely be imagined.--Greg Varner, "Washington Post Book World" A riveting collection...a lovely book. Munro's stories move through the years with a sneaky grace.--Georgia Jones-Davis, "San Francisco Chronicle" A triumph...certain to seal her reputation as our contemporary Chekhov--Carol Shields, "Mirabella" Superlative...She distills a novel's worth of dramatic events into a story of 20 pages.--Erik Huber, "Time OutM" These astonishing stories remind us, yet again, of the literary miracles Alice Munro continues to perform.--Francine Prose, "Elle" "From the Hardcover edition."
