The progress of love

by Alice Munro

The eleven stories in this rich, 300-page collection shimmer with all of Alice Munroe's familiar skills, especially her magically precise way with her characters or, more accurately, her people. We meet these living, breathing "ordinary" people at extraordinary moments when the shape of a life is set, for good or ill, in situations that always ring true.
