Munro is at the height of her powers...a testimony to a great talent
Guardian
That Munro is a great writer of short stories should, by now, go without saying. She is also one of the two or three best writers of fiction (of any length) now alive. The title story of this collection is one of her masterpieces...a brilliant piece of story-telling, tautly-structured and exquisitely balanced
Sunday Times
A new collection of Alice Munro stories is a literary event that more and more of us look forward to, we are very unlikely to find a richer or rarer treat all year...the eight new stories in The Love of a Good Woman show this miraculous and truly great writer at the height of her powers...a perfect story collection
Scotland on Sunday
Alice Munro's stories...reward each pleasurable effort, as the best fiction always does...a Munro story has the depth and intricacy of a long novel, more than any other living writer in English...she can account for 20 years of a person's life in a single, telling paragraph, or even in a subtly placed phrase...The Love of a Good Woman is a superb, but unsettling, collection
Daily Telegraph
Superb...Long ago, Virginia Woolf described George Eliot as one of the few writers 'for grown-up people.' The same might today, and with equal justice, be said of Alice Munro
New York Times Book Review
One of the finest short-story writers of our time...absorbing and brilliant
Observer
Alice Munro is indisputably a master. Like all great writers, she helps sharpen perception...Her imagination is fearless...A better book of stories can scarcely be imagined
Washington Post Book World
A riveting collection...a lovely book. Munro's stories move through the years with a sneaky grace
San Francisco Chronicle
A triumph...certain to seal her reputation as our contemporary Chekhov
Mirabella
Superlative...She distills a novel's worth of dramatic events into a story of 20 pages
Erik Huber
These astonishing stories remind us, yet again, of the literary miracles Alice Munro continues to perform
