3 of 5 stars

Read in January, 2010

I was telling Josh that I couldn't put my finger on why I found this book so compelling -- and he was telling me about the first story in the collection, which I didn't remember AT ALL. ?! !

What I do know is that I listened to the stories probably a total of three times, going back and going back in order to make sure I was listening fully. Which says how tightly these are woven, how much one sentence leads to the next.

I trust Alice Munro. She gets the humanity of us who mean well.

Alas, I was not enthralled with the final story, though I feel Ohio-pride that it was an Ohio University book that led her to the story.

Josh This is fast becoming my favorite short story collection since reading "Dangerous Laughter" by Steven Millhauser.
