Recensioner i media

Munro is one of my all-time favourite writers. She seems to really see people, like a mind reader who knows what her characters are thinking before they do do, and tells their stories with simplicity and empathy.

  1. 5/5 Lagitz

    Helt otroligt bra. Varje novell är som en liten roman. Fantastiskt språk och novellerna har allt man kan önska. De udda miljöerna fascinerar och karaktärerna är verkligen intressant beskrivna med alla sina mänskliga tillkortakommanden. Spännande är de också. Läs den!
