6/27/2023 0 Comments Runaway by Alice MunroRunaway is a collection of short stories published in 2005. 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. It is her miraculous gift to make these stories as real and unforgettable as our own. 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. Well-crafted short stories about love, guilt and betrayal
