Munro’s insight is oddly uplifting… Cruelty and self-delusion
beautifully described
*Evening Standard*
Stunning… All the stories are immaculate, but the title story is
extraordinary… Read and marvel
*The Times*
Heart-stopping… Demonstrates her mastery of her craft
*Observer*
Munro is still one of our most fearless explorers of the human
being, as she descends, time and again, headlamp on full beam,
pickaxe and butter-knife at the ready
*The Times*
Munro transcends the short form
*Sunday Telegraph*
Munro's artistry ... recalls the close attention and cool
detachment of a psychoanalyst
*Times Literary Supplement*
Munro is so good that one gropes for superlatives...(her) stories
read like short novels; entire lives comprehended in a peripheral
glimpse, an uncanny anticipation, a sudden intuition
*Sunday Telegraph*
Perfect for any lucky person who has not yet discovered her, and a
treat for her die-hard fans
*Psychologies*
Alice Munro is among the major writers of English fiction of our
time
*Margaret Atwood*
