Runaway

by Alice Munro

I've been reading this gradually, my daughter gave it to me more than a year ago and I kept it in my car. A book of short stories, it was perfect for quick-hitting reading pieces.

I haven't read many short stories since leaving school and wasn't thinking I'd enjoy it much but it was amazing. She's a very spare writer, not overly descriptive or florid. Her plot and characters are all the stories need. Each one reads like a mini-novel.

Perfect.
