"""A collection that sees her delving even deeper and with glittering expertise into a fictional terrain she has made her own for 40 years now"" -- Peter Kemp Sunday Times ""The pre-eminent master of the short story... all delivered by her spare, wonderful prose"" -- David Mattin Independent on Sunday ""If there is one writer who proves that the short story should never be deemed the uninspiring younger sibling of the novel, it is Munro"" -- Melissa McClements Financial Times ""This is a deeply moving and contemplative book. If it is a valediction, then it is a magnificent one"" -- Mary Morrissy Irish Times ""Mesmerising and cleverly interlinked, these stories are well balanced - neither overly inventive nor stolidly factual. Ms Munro's light touch and her sensitive embellishment of the truth result in a book that is illuminated by the patterns of life repeating themselves over the years"" Economist"
