THE LOVE OF A GOOD WOMAN, by Alice Munro, features eight new short stories about what people will do for love, and the unexpected routes their passion will force them to take.
The stories include one about a prim, old landlady in Vancouver with a crime of passion still lurking in her past. And a young mother with a secret life who abandons her children to be with her lover. A country doctor in the 1960s discovered by his daughter to be helping desperate women, his "special patients." These and other fascinating characters weave their way through stories that track the changes that time brings to families, lovers and even to friends who share old, intimate secrets about the "prostration of love"in a collection that is clear-eyed about the clutter of our emotional lives.
