The stories brought together here span a quarter century, drawn from some of her earliest books, <i>The Beggar Maid </i>and <i>The Moons of Jupiter,</i> through her recent best-selling collection, <i>Runaway. </i><br><br>Here are such favorites as “Royal Beatings” in which a young girl, her father, and stepmother release the tension of their circumstances in a ritual of punishment and reconciliation; “Friend of My Youth” in which a woman comes to understand that her difficult mother is not so very different from herself; and “The Love of a Good Woman,” in which, when an old crime resurfaces, a woman has to choose whether to believe in the man she intends to marry.<br><br>Munro’s incomparable empathy for her characters, the depth of her understanding of human nature, and the grace and surprise of her narrative add up to a richly layered and capacious fiction. Like the World War I soldier in the title story, whose letters from the front to a small-town librarian he doesn’t know change her life forever, Munro’s unassuming characters insinuate themselves in our hearts and take permanent hold.163362692006Carried Away: A Selection of Stories (Everyman's Library (Cloth))total:100|5:58|4:30|3:12|2:0|1:0|1004461952340falsefalseTue Feb 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009Thu Jul 09 14:32:36 -0700 2009Thu Jul 09 14:32:36 -0700 2009
