Like the World War I soldier in the title story, whose letters from the front to a small-town librarian he doesnt know change her life forever, Munros unassuming characters insinuate themselves in our hearts and take permanent hold.

Munros incomparable empathy for her characters, the depth of her understanding of human nature, and the grace and surprise of her narrative add up to a richly layered and capacious fiction. Here are such favorites as Royal Beatings in which a young girl, her father, and stepmother release the tension of their circumstances in a ritual of punishment and reconciliation Friend of My Youth in which a woman comes to understand that her difficult mother is not so very different from herself and The Albanian Virgin, a romantic tale of capture and escape in Central Europe that may or may not be true but that nevertheless comforts the hearer, who is on a desperate adventure of her own. The stories brought together here span a quarter century, drawn from some of her earliest books, The Beggar Maid and The Moons of Jupiter,through her recent best-selling collection, Runaway. Alice Munro has been repeatedly hailed as one of our greatest living writers, a reputation that has been growing for years. WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE(R) IN LITERATURE 2013 Carried Away is a dazzling selection of stories-seventeen favorites chosen by the author from across her distinguished career.
