Open Secrets, Nobel Prize in Literature winner Alice Munro’s eighth book, consists of eight stories, each one as rich as a full novel. Ranging from the 1850s through two world wars to the present, and from Canada to Brisbane, the Balkans and the Somme, these dazzling stories reveal the secrets of unconventional women who refuse to be contained.
