Alice Munro captures a kaleidoscope of lights and depths-she manages to reproduce the vibrant practice of life while scrutinizing the workings of her own narrative art-an exhilarating collection * New York Times * A work of great brilliance and depth- Munro's power of analysis, of sensations and thoughts, is almost Proustian in its sureness * New Statesman * The best stories of the year * The Nation * She has a touch of genius * Mail on Sunday * The stories are absolutely wonderful...every word she writes is interesting -- Alice Adams
