These dazzling and utterly satisfying stories explore varieties and degrees of love - filial, platonic, sexual, parental and imagined - in the lives of apparently ordinary folk. In fact, Munro's characters pulse with idiosyncratic life. Under the polished surface of these unsentimental dispatches from the small-town and rural front lies a strong undertow of violence and sexuality, repressed until something snaps, with extraordinary force in some of the stories, sadly and strangely in others.

Recensioner i media

"She has a touch of genius" Mail on Sunday "Whatever it is that makes some writing come alive in every phrase and sentence, Alice Munro has it... I wouldn't willingly miss one of her stories" Sunday Times "Munro has been compared with Proust, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and remains - though dazzling - quite unperturbed and unaffected, her writing smooth and supple" Financial Times "In range and depth her short stories are almost novels...complete, complex, and brilliantly structured... One of the finest living short-story writers" Daily Telegraph "Alice Munro has earned glowing testimonials for her previous collections of short stories and The Progress of Love will bring her many more of them. She deserves them all. Her prose is of a quality that makes most of her peers look like clumsy apprentices" Evening Standard
