My review focuses on three linked stories from the collection – ‘Chance’, ‘Soon’ and ‘Silence’ – which were the inspiration for the 2016 film Julieta, which I will be reviewing separately as part of my From Page to Screen Reading challenge.

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 neighbours. Synopsis (courtesy of Goodreads): Alice Munro’s bestselling and rapturously acclaimed 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 lustre of her intimate relationships.
