The second work of one of the most renowned and prominent Canadian writers of the 20th and 21st centuries caused a lot of confusion among literary critics. The main reason of their perplexity was the fact that Alice Munro was a master of the short stories, but this work could be easily viewed as a novel. She didn’t need to write hundreds of pages in order to show significance of a human’s life, everyday struggles, hopes and tragedies of an ordinary person. These several interlinked short coming of age stories were published in 1971 and were successful enough to be reprinted a few times more. However, nothing was added or changed since its first publishing.
