Publisher's Synopsis
Alice Munro's masterful stories are ingrained with such truth about life that readers always want to know where they came from. In this book-her most personal to date-she tells us. From the title story-where through a haze of whisky Alice's ancestors gazed north from Edinburgh Castle at the Fife coast-to the final story, where we travel with "Alice Munro" today, she blurs the boundaries between fiction and memoir.
