"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: their stories draw us in with their quiet depth and surprise us with unexpected turns. And while most are set in her signature territiory around Lake Huron, some strike even closer to home: an astonishing suite of four autobiographical talesoffers an unprecedented glimpse into Munro's own chilhood. Exalted by her clarity of visionand her unparalleled gift for story telling, Dear Life shows how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be."
