Runaway by Alice Munro

4.0

This was my first foray into short stories and I'm glad I started with Alice Munro. It was slow going at first because I wasn't used to this style of storytelling, and all of them ended with me wanting a bit more. More detail, more happenings, more explanation, etc. After I got into the swing of things, though, I started appreciating the way she really makes you exist in that particular moment. I might not fully understand what came before and have only an inkling of what could come after, but I very fully experienced the moment she was writing about at the time.
