Description

These are beguiling, provocative stories about manipulative men and the women who outwit them.
‘Brimming with intensely believable characters and rich social detail’ Sunday Times

A wife and mother whose spirit has been crushed finds release from her extraordinary pain in the most unlikely of places. The young victim of a humiliating seduction finds an unusual way to get her own back and move on. An older woman, dying of cancer, weaves a poisonous story to save her life. Alice Munro takes on complex, even harrowing emotions and events and renders them into stories that surprise, amaze, and shed light on the unpredictable ways we accommodate to what happens in our lives.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature

Winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2009
