The Three Stories that Inspired the Movie With a foreword by Pedro Almodóvar   Alice Munro is cherished for her exquisite, affecting meditations on the human heart. In these three linked stories, "Chance," "Soon," and "Silence"--which, together, inspired Pedro Almodóvar's film Julieta--her virtuosic talents are once again on display. The stories follow a schoolteacher named Juliet as she is swept up by fate: meeting an older man on a train and starting an affair; later, visiting her parents as a young mother; and later still, searching for contact with her estranged daughter. As with all of Munro's characters, Juliet radiates warmth, dignity, and hope, even as she is unflinching in the face of betrayal and loss. In Munro's hands, her journey is as surprising, extraordinary, and precious as life itself.… (más)

Thoroughly enjoyed this little book. Alice munro never disappoints but this novel hit home shockingly in the sense how Julieta treated her mother, she ends up being treated the same way by her daughter. Munro pens subtle set ups and dialogues to drive home important questions of our lives. ( )

A collection of three short stories that provide snapshots into the life of Juliet. The first when she is a young woman in her early twenties, alternating between her journey from Toronto to Vancouver for a job at a school and at the end of the term when she journeys further north in BC to reconnect with a man she met on the train. The second story follows Juliet as a young mother going home with her baby to visit her parents. The final story looks at Juliet when she is much older and estranged from her daughter.

I'm not a big short story person and literary fiction isn't always my jam either, so knowing Alice Munro's reputation and wanting to read something by her, I picked the shortest collection on shelf in my local library. It was a good choice for me. Munro's writing is beautifully evocative and her tales are well-crafted but it's just not something I'd pick up for leisure reading on my own without something like my Canadian author challenge. However, if you are a literary fiction fan and enjoy short stories, you can't go wrong with sampling Munro. ( )
