'One of the finest short-story writers of our time...absorbing and brilliant' Observer
Munro explores women who are unruly, ungovernable, unpredictable, unexpected, funny, sexy, and completely recognisable - and brings their hidden desires bubbling to the surface. The love of a good woman is not as pure and virtuous as it seems: as in her title story it can be needy and murderous.
Here are women behaving badly, leaving husbands and children, running off with unsuitable lovers, pushing everyday life to the limits, and if they don't behave badly, they think surprising and disturbing thoughts.
Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
Winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2009

Inspiring stories about mother-daughter relationships with a lot of intertwining relationship/family/partner/ background happening in the same plots. Stories that make you aware of the small things in life which can have as much of an impact. An easy read, but still challenging in a way as Munro leaves part of her relating up to own guesses and makes the reader fill in the gaps she consciously leaves. I finished the entire book on a 4h bus ride and was not disappointed.
