Description

The unique Alice Munro’s bestselling and rapturously acclaimed Runaway is just a book of extraordinary stories about love and its infinite betrayals and surprises, in the title story about a woman who, though she thinks she really wants to, is not capable of leaving her husband, to several stories about a woman named Juliet and the feelings that confuse the shine of her personal associations. In Munro’s fingers, the folks she creates about–women of ages and conditions, and their lovers, friends, parents, and children–become as vivid as our very own neighbors. It's her remarkable gift to create these stories as genuine and as our very own memorable.
