Quite honestly, does anyone rival Munro's range? The stories in this collection, and there is not one dud, are all over the place in topic but still remain solid with a quality of writing that is so above what I usually find. Honestly, the woman is a goddess. I'm going to slowly work my way through her entire canon over my lifetime, and managed two collections and a bunch of singles this year alone. I cannot express my love for this woman's writing with mere words. She describes characters in a way that makes them fully formed in your head, even side characters.
Anyhoo, I savored this collection. I read it over the month of November, pausing between stories to let them sink in before starting the next one. While I loved each of them, my personal favorites were: Dimension, Wood, and Too Much Happiness. A tale of a woman in love with a murderer, a couple whose love is so pure, and a biopic about a female mathematician.
So freaking good.
