Publisher Description

A “profound and beautiful” collection of ten stories from Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro.

With clarity and ease, Alice Munro renders complex, difficult events and emotions into stories about the unpredictable ways in which men and women accommodate and often transcend what happens in their lives.

In the first story, a young wife and mother, suffering from the unbearable pain of losing her three children, gains solace from a most surprising source.

In another, a young woman, in the aftermath of an unusual and humiliating seduction, reacts in a clever if less-than-admirable fashion.

Other tales uncover the “deep-holes” in a marriage, the unsuspected cruelty of children, and, in the title story, the yearnings of a nineteenth-century female mathematician.
