Product Description

There is a woman haunted by her dreams of her dead mother. There is an adulterous couple stepping over the line where the initial excitement ends and the pain begins. There is a widow visiting a Scottish village in search of her husband's past and instead discovering unsettling truths about a total stranger. The ten stories in this collection not only astonish and delight but also convey the unspoken mysteries at the heart of all human experience.

New York Times
‘This is a wonderful collection of stories, beautifully written and deeply felt.'

Independent
'Munro is unfaltering at changes of mood, moments when sweetness tips over into mistrust, or mockery, or disgust.'

Cynthia Ozick
‘She is our Chekhov, and is going to outlast most of her contemporaries.'
