View from Castle Rock

Opis książki:

The View from Castle Rock is, in some important ways, a departure for this masterful Canadian writer. Half of the collection is more or less historical fiction, written at a considerable distance from the probing investigations of contemporary psyches for which Munro is so celebrated. For more than a decade, she tells us in a brief foreword, she has been collecting information about a branch of her family that came from a valley described in the Statistical Account of Scotland in 1799 as having "no advantages." She takes that grim judgment as the title for part one of her collection, a set of five connected stories that transport her forebears from their mean, mossy Borders village to a new world that provides little of the glory or prosperity they might have expected from such a bold leap into the unknown.
