Stacy's review of Lives of Girls and Women: A Novel
Lives of Girls and Women: A Novel by Alice Munro
Like much of the Southern Ontario Gothic sub-genre, “Lives” is an acquired taste. But whether or not small towns and angsty woman is your thing, it is undeniable that Alice Munro is a woman of considerable talent. “Baptized” was probably the single best chapter I’ve ever read about growing up. Be patient with this book, and you will be rewarded – the insight is subtle, hard won, and absolutely worth it.
