Résumé

Alice Munro turns to her family for inspiration; and what follows is a fictionalised, brilliantly imagined version of the past. ‘One of my very favourite writers’ Claire Tomalin From her ancestors' view from Edinburgh's Castle Rock in the eighteenth century to her parents' thwarted ambitions in Ontario, and her own awakening in 1950s Canada, Munro effortlessly weaves fact and myth to create an epic story of past and present, proving that fiction has much to tell us about life.
