It took months to finish this (mostly because of my cronic procrastination), not because the book was bad or the short stories in it was not interesting一it's the kind of book that you need to concentrate in order to fully absorb the story. I really adore how Alice Munro write these short stories, they are just as dense as regular novel, but i think even better because everything is so balanced and the length is just perfectly fit. Looking forward to read her other works.
