"Alice Munro is one of the great story writers.

this collection of stories empathically, wondrously proves it.

" -David Adams Richards In the thirteen rich stories that make up Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You, Alice Munro demonstrates the precise observation, straightforward prose style, and masterful technique that have won her comparisons to Chekhov.

Exploring the mysteries, dangers, joys, and bewilderment in the lives of ordinary girls and women, Munro tells of sisters, mothers and daughters, aunts, grandmothers, and friends who shimmer with hope and love, anger and reconciliation, as they contend with their histories and their present, and what they can see of the future.

My favourite Alice Munro collection I've read. "Material", "How I Met My Husband", and "The Ottawa Valley" are all ace.
