Runaway by Alice Munro

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE(R) IN LITERATURE 2013

This acclaimed, bestselling collection also contains the celebrated stories that inspired the Pedro Almod var film Julieta. Runaway is a book of extraordinary stories about love and its infinite betrayals and surprises, from the title story about a young woman who, though she thinks she wants to, is incapable of leaving her husband, to three stories about a woman named Juliet and the emotions that complicate the luster of her intimate relationships. In Munro's hands, the people she writes about-women of all ages and circumstances, and their friends, lovers, parents, and children-become as vivid as our own neighbors. It is her miraculous gift to make these stories as real and unforgettable as our own.

Alice Munro, the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature recipient, grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and went to Western University. She has eleven collections of stories, two volumes of selected stories, and a novel to her credit. She has won numerous medals and prizes over her illustrious career, including three Governor General's Literary Awards and two Giller Prizes in Canada, the Rea Award for the Short Story, the Lannan Literary Award, and England's W.
