Beschreibung

Discover Alice Munro's intimate and emotional short stories about women's choices that can quietly change lives.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Man Booker International Prize, Alice Munro writes with unmatched acuity about the pressures of everyday life.

In Runaway, women and men face betrayals, lost children, failed escapes and the strange bargains that love can demand. A woman tries to leave a volatile marriage. Others confront desire, aging, memory, shame and the consequences of choices that once seemed almost accidental.

Runaway is an essential literary short story collection featuring marriage stories, intimate drama and fiction that understands how quietly devastating ordinary life can be.

'The way to do it justice is to read it. Read Munro!' Jonathan Franzen

'These stories are breathtaking - they leave you winded with their toughness and brilliance' Guardian
