NATIONAL BESTSELLER DEAR LIFE - ALICE MUNRO K...

In story after story in this brilliant 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: a soldier returning from war and avoiding his
fiancée  a wealthy woman deciding whether to confront a blackmailer  an adulterous mother and
her neglected children  a guilt-ridden father  a young teacher jilted by her employer.
Illumined by Munro's unflinching insight  these lives 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
tales offers an unprecedented glimpse into Munro's own childhood. Exalted by her clarity of
vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling  Dear Life shows how strange  perilous  and
extraordinary ordinary life can be.
