Review«Alice Munro has a strong claim to being the best fiction writer now working in North America. Runaway is a marvel.» —Jonathan Franzen, The New York Times Book Review

«Runaway_ may very well be the synthesizing work of one of literature’s keenest investigators into the human soul.» —USA Today_

«She outjoices Joyce and checkmates Chekhov. … Each of the stories in Runaway contains enough lived life to fill a typical novel. … Her women are heroic. … They endure in the mind of the reader.» —_The Boston Globe_

«As with so many of Munro’s stories, you read to have your premises altered and deepened. Could anything be better? … A beautiful new work.» —_Los Angeles Times_

«The great Alice Munro proves again why short-story writers bow down to her.» —_Vanity Fair_

«Runaway_ is a big dish of Beluga caviar, sailing in on a sparkling bed of ice, with a mother-of-pearl spoon. You remember: This is why you eat, read, make love, whatever—to be left silly with admiration and delight.» —The Washington Post_

Product DescriptionThe incomparable Alice Munro’s bestselling and rapturously acclaimed Runaway_ _is a book of extraordinary stories about love and its infinite betrayals and surprises, from the title story about a young woman who, though she thinks she wants to, is incapable of leaving her husband, to three stories about a woman named Juliet and the emotions that complicate the luster of her intimate relationships. In Munro’s hands, the people she writes about—women of all ages and circumstances, and their friends, lovers, parents, and children—become as vivid as our own neighbors. It is her miraculous gift to make these stories as real and unforgettable as our own.

    💡Heel leerzaam

    It took months to finish this (mostly because of my cronic procrastination), not because the book was bad or the short stories in it was not interesting一it's the kind of book that you need to concentrate in order to fully absorb the story. I really adore how Alice Munro write these short stories, they are just as dense as regular novel, but i think even better because everything is so balanced and the length is just perfectly fit. Looking forward to read her other works.

Citaten

    She wasn’t exactly like everybody else. But who is? I mean, I never thought I was.

    Or did she go out and sit on the swing, and creak back and forth, with no company but the rising moon?

    She was a girl who would drink untreated water from any old tin mug hanging over a well.
