A Fine+ white Hardcover with bold gilt titles to the spine. The DJ is unclipped and in Fine+ condition. "While most of these stories take place in Munro's home territory - the small Canadian towns around Lake Huron - the characters sometimes venture to the cities, and the book ends with four pieces set in the area where she grew up, and in the time of her own childhood: stories "autobiographical in feeling, though not, sometimes, entirely so in fact." A girl who can't sleep imagines night after wakeful night that she kills her beloved younger sister. A mother snatches up her child and runs for dear life when a crazy woman comes into her yard." ; 6.3 X 1.2 X 9.27 inches; 336 pages .
