"Read this one in my Canadia Lit. class my last semester at USU before graduation. It was alright. I enjoyed it, but wasn't amazed. I wrote a paper on it though and got a big, fat A!"
"Alice Munro is one of the world's greatest living writers and certainly the greatest literary genius Canada has ever produced. This collection continues in the same vein as Lives of Girls and Women, but is much darker in its examination of human nature. The environment that the protagonist, Rose grows up in is much harsher than that of Dell Jordan from Lives. The scenes are paited so vividly that one believes one is watching a film of actual events. One of the most powerful short story collections I have ever read. I always find Alice Munro to be astounding, but difficult to describe. She just has to be read and reread."
