An inveterate philanderer finds the tables turned when he puts his wife into an old-age home. A young cancer patient stunned by good news discovers a perfect bridge to her suddenly regained future. A woman recollecting an afternoon's wild lovemaking with a stranger realizes how the memory of that encounter has both changed for her and sustained her through a lifetime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e is Munro at her best--tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Munro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.14h x 5.12w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375727436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2002 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/11\/2002 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/13\/2002 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice Munro grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and attended the University of Western Ontario.
