Alice Munro: Paradox and Parallel
Beginning with her earliest, uncollected stories, W.R. Martin critically examines Alice Munro's writing career. He discusses influences on Munro and presents an overview of the prominent features of her art: the typical protagonist, the development of her narrative technique, and the dialectic that involves paradoxes and parallels.
For (Dear) Life
When Canadian Alice Munro was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013, she had already declared her resignation from the post of short story writer following the publication of her 2012 collection Dear Life. This present volume offers critical analyses of Alice Munro's complete final short story collection. The book's contributors exercise in-depth, close readings of each individual story and situate them in Munro's lifetime oeuvre, as well as in her work's critical reception to date. Scholars set out to show how complex, irritating, disturbing, and enchanting Munro's stories are, and how often all that matters is to hold life dear - or to hold on for (dear) life.

Therese Grotian and the High Window
Therese Grotrian knew she had to fight the Nazis in any way she could after the Anschluss. Gathering all the strength she had been left with after the death of her husband she set up an agency to transport Jews out of Austria. Soon, she found herself helping Britain, involved in espionage and drumming up support in America. This is the story of her amazing strength and courage in the face of a deadly enemy. The massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane was one of the most horrific and unjustified Nazi attacks of the war. With great sensitivity, Martin tells a story of two survivors: a woman and a young boy who find refuge with two British soldiers who help them flee France, offering them a life in England. These two stories reveal the great love, kindness and determination that can be found amidst great suffering and loss.

Falling in love with a German prisoner of war, Elizabeth wonders if she will ever find happiness for herself. However, fortuitous events make it possible for her to find the life she desires and help others in the process...
Old in Law and Acquainted with Grief
These two charming stories take us on a roller coaster of intense emotion. Love, loss, friendship, and hard work are all examined within these beautifully crafted tales. The First and Second World Wars form a dramatic backdrop as our main protagonists' lives are irrevocably altered by the violent world that surrounds them. Through sensitive language, hardship and pain are tackled head on in these intense stories. Martin transports us to a different world where strong characters struggle through difficult times to emerge triumphant and content with the lot that life has thrown them.
