It’s time for Betsy and me to move on to Munro’s ninth book, 1998’s The Love of a Good Woman. We will soon be posting our thoughts on the first story — the title story — and I wanted to get this index post up so that any of you who are interested in joining us can get the book and get started.
The Love of a Good Woman is a collection of 8 stories. This is the anchor post, an index with links to our posts on each story in the collection.
The Love of a Good Woman contains the following stories:
- The Love of a Good Woman
- Jakarta
- Cortes Island
- Save the Reaper
- The Children Stay
- Rich as Stink
- Before the Change
- My Mother’s Dream
Munro’s stories keep getting longer and, I think, more layered, if that is even possible. I hope you’ll join in!
I will order a copy and would enjoy getting involved.
Excellent! I look forward to anything you share, Susan!
Such rewarding stories!
I’ve nearly finished the book – just the very last story to go. Am looking forward to the discussion.
It’s been a number of years since I read the first story, the title story, which is quite an epic. Am hoping I’ll have time to re-read it again properly.
So I’m kind of hoping you and Betsy take your time a little right now before getting started!
