What is Open Secrets : Stories about?

From Publishers Weekly Loosely connected short stories mine both the history of a small Canadian town and the complex personal histories of Munro's protagonists. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal For her newest gathering, Canadian novelist/short story writer Munro (Friends of My Youth, LJ 3/15/90) has collected another eight stories of women's lives. Most of the stories are set in and around the town of Carstairs, Alberta, where the Doud family is the biggest employer. Munro is a master at developing the details that bring her characters to life: In "Carried Away," librarian Louisa responds to the increasingly intimate correspondence of a World War II soldier, who fails to contact her when he returns home. In "A Wilderness Station," set in the 1850s when Carstairs is an outpost, orphaned Annie McKillop sets out for an uncertain future as the mail-order bride of a homesteader. These luminous, full-bodied stories will be widely enjoyed. Ann H. Fisher, Radford P.L., Va. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. Literary,Short Stories,Fiction
