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.

I have a very soft spot for short stories, and these are brilliantly written. I really don't know what to say about this book, I loved it. I really did.
