Themes include English \u0026amp; College Success, English, Fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn eight “riveting [and] lovely” (San Francisco Chronicle) stories, Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro stunningly explores the strange, often comical desires of the human heart.   “Superb . . . dazzling . . . Munro’s feel for her own characters is as pure as Chekhov’s.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “Munro is indisputably a master. . . . A better book of stories can scarcely be imagined.”—The Washington Post Book World Mining the silences and dark discretions of provincial life, the eight tales in The Love of a Good Woman lay bare the seamless connections and shared guilt that bind even the loneliest of individuals. A stroke victim expresses his deepest secret to a young bride in what may be the last act of intimacy left in him. A daughter confronts her father with the open secret of his life. And in the riveting title story, a selfless nurse tending a dying patient discovers the social utility of lies.   Sparklingly detailed, unwaveringly courageous, these are stories that extend the limits of fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll books at Vastela are pre-owned.
