[fusion_dropcap boxed=”no” boxed_radius=”” class=”” id=”” color=”#003366″]I[/fusion_dropcap]t’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!
