~ Trade Paperback The stories in this collection are about women of all ages and circumstances. All of the eight stories in Runaway are new, published in book form for the first ti me, with two of the eight having never appeared anywhere previously. In these stories, Alice Munro's understanding of the people about whom she writes makes their lives as real and unforgettable as our own. "Quintessential Munro at top form ... with each successive collection Munro has demonstrated her mastery over the short story form, of which she is arguably the foremost practitioner in Canada and perhaps the world. Meticulously constructed, seemingly effortless, these eight stories have an instantly recognizable Munro-like quality of plainness." -- Quill and Quire Show more
