Lives of Girls and Women by Alice Munro
3.0

This novel illustrates well that Alice Munro writes great short stories. Each chapter is a self-contained short story. They are all about the same characters, and after a few chapter they shape a story together. In the end, it's a good book that explores a lot of interesting themes about growing up in post-WWII America with an "intellectual" mother in a rural area. Del is on the brink of the feminist movement and sexual revolution, and her mother is sometimes steps ahead of her, sometimes too far behind.
