Munro's first published book, and a fitting way to kick off my retrospective of her important body of work. She hasn't yet unleashed the "time torquing" technique of her later work, but the stories are wonderfully detailed and the characters deeply engraved.
The story “A Trip to the Coast” ends in a decidedly Flannery O'Connor manner.
