Open Secrets: Stories by Alice Munro
4.0
i've been meaning to read some alice munro for several years but couldn't quite get around to it. finally my friend kevin gave me this collection for christmas- hooray!- and she has absolutely lived up to my expectations. normally with short stories i take a break between each story or so, but with this collection i just wanted to keep going. it helped that the first story featured a librarian who sassily drinks wine each night. off to a great start!
it's hard to put my finger on what i liked so much about these stories. each is somehow related to the small town of carstairs, ontario, but characters are not repeated. marriage plays a big part. there are unsolved mysteries, ex-wives in disguise, severed heads, and a teenage girl who happens upon space aliens. looking forward to more by this author!
