A brilliant new collection of stories from one of the most acclaimed and beloved writers of our time.

Alice Munro’s peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief but always spacious and timeless stories is once again everywhere apparent in this brilliant new collection. In story after story, she illumines the moment a life is forever altered by a chance encounter or an action not taken, or by a simple twist of fate that turns a person out of his or her accustomed path and into a new way of being or thinking. A poet, finding herself in alien territory at her first literary party, is rescued by a seasoned newspaper columnist, and is soon hurtling across the continent, young child in tow, toward a hoped-for but completely unplanned meeting. A young soldier, returning to his fiancée from the Second World War, steps off the train before his stop and onto the farm of another woman, beginning a life on the move. A wealthy young woman having an affair with the married lawyer hired by her father to handle his estate comes up with a surprising way to deal with the blackmailer who finds them out.

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 audiobook 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.

Suffused with Munro’s clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these tales about departures and beginnings, accidents and dangers, and outgoings and homecomings both imagined and real, paint a radiant, indelible portrait of how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.

读后感

和朋友逛书店，看见有拆封的《亲爱的生活》，就抽出来把第一个故事《漂流到日本》看完了。然后，就像以往读门罗一样，没过两三天，这个故事讲了什么、主人公叫什么名字，我就给忘得一干二净，完全不记得了。 之前读完《公开的秘密》后，我写下的短评是“好是好，可是每篇故事...  

这不是我特别喜欢的短篇, 没有第一篇和最后一篇读了以后那么震撼, 中间的情绪流感觉也没有特别出彩. 但是我回头在想, 为什么起这个名字的时候, 突然想到了<呼啸山庄> 接下来的体验就非常有趣了. 薇薇安跟红毛医生的相识像极了<简爱>. 但是当然人物心态不同. 而红毛和小女友...  

在读。 第一个故事的时候，想，这什么鬼，看不懂莫名其妙。 第二个故事的时候可以读下去，有点儿自己的感触，依然不懂最后作者要表达的。 第三个故事，有点儿明白作者的确很棒，翻译也并没有一开始以为的那么烂，依然懵懂。 第四个故事，依然看不...
