Köp båda 2 för 188 krMunro 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. -- Natasha Lunn * Red * Runaway is so good I don't want to talk about it. Quotation can't do the book justice, and neither can synopsis. The way to do it justice is to read it. Read Munro! Read Munro! -- Jonathan Franzen * New York Times Book Review * Millions of words have been spilt in attempts to tell us exactly what it means to be human. In Runaway, Munro performs that very miracle * The Times * A beautiful, echoing collection, and a demonstration of perfected and unflinching form -- Ali Smith * Scotsman * These stories are breathtaking - they leave you winded with their toughness and brilliance -- Helen Simpson * Guardian *
