Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

<b>WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013</b><br><br>In the her tenth collection (the title story of which is the basis for the new film <i>Hateship Loveship) </i>, Alice Munro achieves new heights, creating narratives that loop and swerve like memory, and conjuring up characters as thorny and contradictory as people we know ourselves.<br>A tough-minded housekeeper jettisons the habits of a lifetime because of a teenager's practical joke. A college student visiting her brassy, unconventional aunt stumbles on an astonishing secret and its meaning in her own life. An incorrigible philanderer responds with unexpected grace to his wife's nursing-home romance. <b>Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage</b> is Munro at her best, tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.<br><br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>
