Synopsis
Alice Munro's seventh book (1990) again turns to rural Canada for 10 tales of people who, later in life, look back on their younger days to explore crucial moments. In "Differently," a woman muses on past expectations and present realities; in the much-lauded "Meneseteung" a turn-of-the-century small-town spinster named Almeda Joynt Roth finds a refuge from trauma in writing poetry; and in "Oranges and Apples," a very funny children's game morphs into a statement about the irrevocability of certain choices. In the title story, a woman's dreams about her dead mother reveal truths about her own present life.

Industry Reviews
"Ms. Munro is a writer of extraordinary richness and texture. Each short story is a mansion of many rooms."
