VINCITORE DEL PREMIO NOBEL PER LA LETTERATURA "Una superba raccolta. Matrimoni, scommesse, sparizioni, vandalismo senza motivo: è il materiale di vite ordinarie, trasmesso in modo straordinario" Independent Open Secrets, l'ottavo libro di Alice Munro, è composto da otto storie luminose e poetiche, ciascuna ricca come un romanzo. Spaziando dagli anni '50 dell'Ottocento attraverso due guerre mondiali fino ai giorni nostri, e dal Canada a Brisbane, i Balcani e la Somme, queste storie abbaglianti rivelano i segreti di donne non convenzionali che rifiutano di essere contenute. "Brillante nell'evocare la diversità e l'imprevedibilità della vita. Un'impareggiabile cronista della natura umana" The Sunday Times.
