A story collection brimming with hope, adveristy, and wonder, Canada’s beloved writer displays her compassionate understanding of ordinary lives to full effect.
Tracing generations of Munro’s family, from the titular story—where through a haze of whiskey Alice’s ancestors gaze north from Edinburgh Castle at the Fife coast, believing that it is North America—to Munro’s firstperson stories, set during her lifetime, and all the way to the final story, where we travel with “Alice Munro” today. In the author’s words, these stories “pay more attention to the truth of a life than fiction usually does. But not enough to swear on.”

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED: The book received international and laudatory review coverage when first published in 2006, and the titular story was excerpted in The New Yorker.
Praise for The View From Castle Rock:
“Masterful…. Munro really does know magic: how to summon the spirits and the emotions that animate our lives.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Fascinating…. Munro’s powers are at their peak…. She continues to charge forward, shining a light on what is most fearsome and true.”—Chicago Tribune
“Exhilarating…. [Munro’s] ability to travel into the minds and feelings of people long dead is uncanny.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Revelatory…. A work of aching authenticity.”—The Boston Globe
