Hateship, friendship, courtship, loveship, marriage

In the nine breathtaking stories that make up her tenth collection, Alice Munro achieves new heights, creating narratives that loop and swerve like memory, and conjuring up characters as thorny and contradictory as people we know ourselves. Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage is Munro at her best-tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.

National bestseller. National book critics Circle Award finalist. One of Time magazine's best of the year in fiction.
