A review by kingarooski
The View from Castle Rock by Alice Munro

4.0

A collection of short stories, loosely based on Alice Munro's family and life, is my introduction to this well-known and respected Canadian writer's work. I enjoyed the ease with which I sank into this book and loved the stories of Munro's immigrant family and their experiences in "America", which was Canada really. The latter stories in the book did not grab my attention as easily, but the links between people and the loose connections which come when people live in the same town were a wonder to behold.
