Quick Reviews of Notable New Books
Dear Life, by Alice Munro
Reviewer: Anne Glenn; age 28; married; Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Anne’s assessment: The stories in this collection are not just tales about characters; they are also powerful portraits of humanity as a whole.
Some of the stories resonated so deeply with me that I felt as if I had experienced the events in them myself. And although
the point of view, subject matter, setting, and plot differ in each story, the theme of love (filial love, true love, love
discovered, love buried deep within) is threaded through them all. Remarkably, despite their brevity, the stories convey emotions
and relay situations better than any novel I’ve ever read.
