This is the story of those shepherds from the Ettrick Valley and their descendants, among them the author herself. First love flowers under an apple tree while lust rears its head in a barn; a restless mother with ideas beyond her station declines painfully; a father farms fox fur and turkeys; a clever girl escapes to college and then into a hasty marriage.

About this product

Product Information

**Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature**'Alice Munro has a strong claim to being the best fiction writer now working in North America.... She is speaking to you and to me right here, right now' - Jonathan Franzen **Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature** The world's finest living short story writer turns to her family for inspiration; and what follows is a fictionalised, brilliantly imagined version of the past. From her ancestors' view from Edinburgh's Castle Rock in the eighteenth century to her parents' thwarted ambitions in Ontario, and her own awakening in 1950s Canada, Munro effortlessly weaves fact and myth to create an epic story of past and present, proving that fiction has much to tell us about life.
