“It’s said that the devil is in the details, but in Munro’s pristine and enrapturing stories, the details hold magic. … Opulent in their beauty and gem-bright psychology, the extraordinary stories in Munro’s tenth stellar collection span the spectrum from romance to tales of manners to deep meditations on love and mortality, and all evince Munro’s profound understanding of the power of memories and the stories we tell ourselves.” –Booklist
