The eight stories of Runaway are filled with literal runnings away from life situations as well as mind escapes. Munro creates authentic women, grounded in life that simmers below the surface, in real women’s circumstances. She hooks us with the barest of details and reels us in through chance meetings or mix-ups, always through a variation on sorrow, to a tender solace. Munro's stories likely appeal to the mature reader who has experienced some of life’s pain and passion.
