In her big, neglected house in Carstairs, she had entered a period of musing and drinking, of what looked to everybody else like a slow decline, but to her seemed, after all, sadly pleasurable, like a convalescence.

pickI thought I would just read one story , but I finished them all & have started another selection. I‘m not sure I understand what the stories really mean , I‘ve missed something & I‘m left with a feeling of wonder I can‘t shake off ... I really loved these stories... set often in Ontario , deceptively simple tales with a nice bit of thriller thrown in , unnerving. #ReadCanada
It's here! I came from work so late and what was waiting for me?🤔Yes! The #HappyEverAfter box from @ferskner Thank you so much! I think I have to hide this box too, until February 14! Too much temptation! 😳What should I do?😱 @Chrissyreadit
pickMy first Munro, and I agree w/her reputation as short story master- I liked every single one in this collection, and 'The Albanian Virgin' & 'The Jack Randa Hotel' rank among the best stories I've ever read. The latter is perfect for today's #IfYouLeaveMeCanIComeToo prompt (I love this song title @Lizpixie !) and for the #MarchintoOz theme also. I loved how the story MC's act boldly to follow their desires, regardless of small town conventions.

Sidenote: I love this song! It gets stuck in my head so easily (all day today) and I am just fine with it as my inner soundtrack. #septembowie @Marchpane @Cinfhen
pickThis short story definitely makes you think. It is a complex story that leaves one wondering what happened and what the meaning is.
