?Como lo hara Alice Munro? Lo que consigue parece magia . -Sara Mesa
Munro tiene una mente prodigiosa. Es precisa, natural y cuenta como nadie la interioridad y el fluir de vidas enteras en unas pocas paginas . -Rodrigo Munoz Avia
Aprender a sobrevivir, a pesar de la cobardia y la cautela, de los sustos y la aprension, no es lo mismo que ser desdichado. Y ademas es interesante . En esta serie de historias entrelazadas, Munro recrea el vinculo entre dos mujeres en el transcurso de casi cuarenta anos: la pragmatica, desconfiada y a veces un tanto vulgar Flo, y su hijastra, Rose, una chica torpe y timida pero cuya ambicion la empuja a dejar atras sus raices y emprender su propio camino. Cuento a cuento, pincelada a pincelada, la gran maestra del relato nos envuelve dentro de una narracion que fluye como una novela y a la que consigue dotar de profunda emocion y trascendencia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
Born into the back streets of a small Canadian town, Rose battled incessantly with her practical and shrewd stepmother, Flo, who cowed her with tales of her own past and warnings of the dangerous world outside. But Rose was ambitious - she won a scholarship and left for Toronto where she married Patrick. She was his Beggar Maid, ‘meek and voluptuous, with her shy white feet’, and he was her knight, content to sit and adore her.
Alice Munro’s wonderful collection of stories reads like a novel, following Rose’s life as she moves away from her impoverished roots and forges her own path in the world.
