Unruly, ungovernable, unpredictable, unexpected, funny, sexy and completely recognisable these are the women that Alice Munro exposes in this brilliant new collection that confirms her genius for entering the lives of ordinary people and capturing the passions and contradictions that lie just below the surface. The Love of a Good Woman is not as pure and virtuous as it seems: as in her title story it can be needy and murderous. Here are women behaving badly, leaving husbands and children, running off with unsuitable lovers, pushing everyday life to the limits, and if they don't behave badly, they think surprising and disturbing thoughts.
