Dance of the happy shades and other stories

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREAlice Munro's territory is the farms and semi-rural towns of south-western Ontario.

In these dazzling stories she deals with the self-discovery of adolescence, the joys and pains of love and the despair and guilt of those caught in a narrow existence. And in sensitively exploring the lives of ordinary men and women, she makes us aware of the universal nature of their fears, sorrows and aspirations.
