Another book of short stories, darker with hints of menace which reveal how we all deal with what life throws at us. The final story takes Munro away from her familiar Canadian landscape as she weaves a tale about Sophia Kovalevsky, the 19C female Russian mathematician who immigrated to Sweden. I found this particularly fascinating as it was a departure for her. The stories and writing are as good as ever.
