Beskrivning
In this collection, Alice Munro captures the lives of ordinary women; their passions and contradictions that lie just below the surface.‘One of the finest short-story writers of our time...absorbing and brilliant’ ObserverMunro explores women who are unruly, ungovernable, unpredictable, unexpected, funny, sexy, and completely recognisable - and brings their hidden desires bubbling to the surface. The love of a good woman is not as pure and virtuous as it seems: as in her title story it can be needy and murderous.Here are women behaving badly, leaving husbands and children, running off with unsuitable lovers, pushing everyday life to the limits, and if they don't behave badly, they think surprising and disturbing thoughts.Winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureWinner of the Man Booker International Prize 2009

Recensioner i media

"Munro is at the height of her powers...a testimony to a great talent" Guardian "That Munro is a great writer of short stories should, by now, go without saying. She is also one of the two or three best writers of fiction (of any length) now alive. The title story of this collection is one of her masterpieces...a brilliant piece of story-telling, tautly-structured and exquisitely balanced" Sunday Times "A new collection of Alice Munro stories is a literary event that more and more of us look forward to, we are very unlikely to find a richer or rarer treat all year...the eight new stories in The Love of a Good Woman show this miraculous and truly great writer at the height of her powers...a perfect story collection" Scotland on Sunday "Alice Munro's stories...reward each pleasurable effort, as the best fiction always does...a Munro story has the depth and intricacy of a long novel, more than any other living writer in English...she can account for 20 years of a person's life in a single, telling paragraph, or even in a subtly placed phrase...The Love of a Good Woman is a superb, but unsettling, collection" Daily Telegraph "One of the finest short-story writers of our time...absorbing and brilliant" Observer
