Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

"Told by anyone else, these stories might seem ordinary--even sentimental. But Munro has no patience with smugness or sweetness and needs no fancy plots or exotic characters to surprise her readers. For all their superficial superficiality, her stories reach down to the deepest level of experience, where no cliches can survive. And she's just getting better....Meticulous in her observation, scrupulous in her sympathy, Munro defies expectations even as she sets them up. In her new book, she shows that she has become one of the world's foremost experts in the soul."Alice Munro is the author of 'Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories' with ISBN 9781572702912 and ISBN 1572702915.
