" As usual these Alice Munro stories are small masterpieces of understatement. I sincerely hope this really isn't her last book as I've heard she claims. I marvel at the ways in which, in a short piece of fiction, Munro's characters draw me into the drama, which if I summarized what happened in the story, could be done in 2 sentences. The details, the shades of emotion, along with just enough action, make each of these a careful and expert study in the huge range of human nature. "
