DEAR LIFE, is a collection of short stories that take place in Munro's home territory - the small Canadian towns around Lake Huron.
The characters sometimes venture to the cities, and the book ends with four pieces set in the area where she grew up, and in the time of her own childhood: stories that are "autobiographical in feeling, though not, sometimes, entirely so in fact." Suffused with Munro's clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these tales about departures and beginnings, accidents and dangers, and outgoings and homecomings both imagined and real, paint a radiant, indelible portrait of how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.
