WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 In this series of interweaving stories, Munro recreates the evolving bond between two women in the course of almost forty years. One is Flo, practical, suspicious of other people's airs, at times dismayingly vulgar. the other is Rose, Flo's stepdaughter, a clumsy, shy girl who somehow leaves the small town she grew up in to achieve her own equivocal success in the larger world.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Previously published as 'The Beggar Maid' Born into the back streets of a small Canadian town, Rose battled incessantly with her practical and shrewd stepmother, Flo, who cowed her with tales of her own past and warnings of the dangerous world outside. But Rose was ambitious - she won a scholarship and left for Toronto where she married Patrick. She was his Beggar Maid, 'meek and voluptuous, with her shy white feet', and he was her knight, content to sit and adore her. Alice Munro's wonderful collection of stories reads like a novel, following Rose's life as she moves away from her impoverished roots and forges her own path in the world.

Alice Munro is Canada’s greatest short story writer. This book, the first full length study of her work published in Britain, explores the appeal of Munro’s fictions of small-town Canadian life with their precise attention to social surfaces and their fascination with local gossip and scandal. This is a world of open secrets, and Howells highlights Munro’s distinctive storytelling methods which combine the familiar and the unfamiliar, slipping between realism and fantasy to make visible what is usually hidden within everyday life. These are women’s narratives, full of silent female knowledge--of female bodies, love stories and romantic fantasies as well as female casualties. Munro takes up the traditional subjects of women’s fiction through her stories’ significantly female plots, stories of entrapment and escape attempts, where secrecy and silence become strategies of resistance. Munro’s enthusiasm for the work of other women writers from Emily Brontë and L. M. Montgomery to Eudora Welty is emphasized as Munro continues to experiment with the short story form, creating worlds which are both "touchable and mysterious."

The only novel from bestselling author Alice Munro, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Catching frogs, grazing knees, singing songs to save England from Hitler - that was childhood for Del Jordan, and now she's impatient for more. More than she can find in the encyclopedias sold by her mother, or in the half-understood innuendos dispensed by best friend Naomi, or in the whispers of boys during Friday night dances. Just like the girls in the movies, she wants to get started on real life. In her only novel, Alice Munro turns her eye to the frustrations, embarrassments, glee and bewilderment of adolescence, and to the brushes with sex, death, violence and birth that shape the lives of girls and women. 'I am the perfect audience for her brand of quiet, seething feminism' Lena Dunham 'Superb' Independent 'In Munro's work, nothing can be predicted. Emotions erupt. Preconceptions crumble. Surprises proliferate' Margaret Atwood 'Exact and unflinching' Guardian 'She is one of the handful of writers, some living, most dead, whom I have in mind when I say that fiction is my religion' Jonathan Franzen

Lumen recupera una extraordinaria colección de cuentos de Alice Munro, la autora de Mi vida querida y ganadora del Premio Nobel de Literatura, donde la escritora explora el vínculo entre dos mujeres y su evolución a lo largo de los años. «¿Cómo lo hará Alice Munro? Lo que consigue parece magia». —Sara Mesa «Munro tiene una mente prodigiosa. Es precisa, natural y cuenta como nadie la interioridad y el fluir de vidas enteras en unas pocas páginas». —Rodrigo Muñoz Avia «Aprender a sobrevivir, a pesar de la cobardía y la cautela, de los sustos y la aprensión, no es lo mismo que ser desdichado. Y además es interesante». En esta serie de historias entrelazadas, Munro recrea el vínculo entre dos mujeres en el transcurso de casi cuarenta años: la pragmática, desconfiada y a veces un tanto vulgar Flo, y su hijastra, Rose, una chica torpe y tímida pero cuya ambición la empuja a dejar atrás sus raíces y emprender su propio camino. Cuento a cuento, pincelada a pincelada, la gran maestra del relato nos envuelve dentro de una narración que fluye como una novela y a la que consigue dotar de profunda emoción y trascendencia.
