one of the world's great writers. She
has been compared to

Flaubert, although she needs no comparison.
Jonathan

over thirty years of research

account of both. The book moves through
time, beginning with Alice Munro

there, we carefully follo^w all of her life stages:

tzo Victoria to start the bookstore, their three
daughrex's, the divorce, JVExinro's return to
Huron County, and her new life v^ith Cherry
