Alice Munro, always the best speculator of humanity, of what make you human, with all contradiction and painful little betrayals. The 'Runaway' eponym story is absolute perfection, and the others are pretty close.

This woman (Atwood) is amazing, really. The story is incredibly well written, disturbing, painful, and deep. Can't wait to read another one.

Not what the back cover promised, at all (wonder who did that!!) but much better. I liked it, disturbing, funny, and painful, yet I loved it. When I reached the mid, I could not stop reading. A bit simplistic in the way of depicting the bad guy (that's why I gave only three stars), but he women are ... (

Great, great book, wonderfully written. The irony, the derisory detachment of the old Iris are invaluable! Not to mention the all those hunting ghosts and the disturbing presence of Laura as a child that pervade the book, in spite of her growing up...
