• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

Typically, when reading a collection, some stories captivate me while others fall flat. This is not true of Alice Munro. She does not miss. Her stories are introspective and filled with loveable, complex, and deeply flawed women characters, and nearly all reward a re-read.
