Alice Munro has long been hailed as one of our greatest living writers. The stories in Carried Away were selected by Munro herself, drawn from some of her earliest books, The Beggar Maid and The Moons of Jupiter, through her recent best-selling collection, Runaway. Munro's incomparable empathy for her characters, the depth of her understanding of human nature, and the grace and surprise of her narrative add up to a richly layered and capacious fiction. The historic village of Bayfield is on the shores of Lake Huron and in the heart of Munro country.
