Her stories have been said to "embed more than announce, reveal more than parade."
I understand that well after reading two of her short story collection books. Nobel Prize winner Munro's storytelling is not in a plot around the corner with a surprise,it's in the details.
Small town living and the community which observes happenings of another house, everyday life of a couple who are still discovering each other, the commute to office and the thoughts of a faraway place , strolling in the park but analysing an unlikely marriage proposal, a soldier from war casually walking from the station to a barn and striking a friendship with the lady who milks the cow.
Her stories are engaging yet not loud. There is quiet and almost soothing experience while reading her stories. If you like to take a break from fast-paced books and historical fiction, Alice Munro is a great choice.
