Product Synopsis

The matchless Munro makes art out of everyday lives in this exquisite collection. Here are men and women of wildly different times and circumstances, their lives made vividly palpable by the nuance and empathy of Munro's writing. Runaway is about the power and betrayals of love, about lost children, lost chances. There is pain and desolation beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart, which makes these stories more powerful and compelling than anything she has written before. It is the winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2009.

Don’t let the awful cover put you off - Alice Munro is one of the greatest writers in the world and a master of the short story, and this might be her best collection. Not very much happens on the outside, but the internal lives of Munro’s characters are constantly going through crises, revelations and epiphanies that are so devastating and perfectly expressed that I had to put the book down and recover a few times. She writes about women going through emotional upheaval with economy and precision without it ever feeling too stylised or stilted, and can make one sentence say more than most writers can in pages. - Adam Westfield White City Bookstore - 12/05/2011
