Za kogo ty się uważasz?

by: Alice Munro (author)

2.75 20

Rose pochodzi z biedniejszej części Ontario. Mieszka z ojcem i macochą Flo w domu na tyłach należącego do rodziny sklepu meblowego. Jako dziecko z niechęcią i strachem obserwuje życie mieszkańców swojego miasta. Potem ucieka, by zacząć studia w Toronto, wyjść za mąż i podjąć pracę zawodową. I przez cały czas próbuje odpowiedzieć na zawarte w tytule książki pytanie, które w dzieciństwie usłyszała od macochy. Dziesięć powiązanych ze sobą opowiadań, z których każde tworzy samodzielną, kunsztownie zbudowaną całość, składa się na poruszającą i przenikliwą opowieść o dojrzewaniu.

The characters are certainly believable, and I be...

text The Beggar Maid: Stories of Flo and Rose

I decided to read a work by Alice Munro purely because she won the Nobel Prize for Literature this year. I came in with modest expectations, since there are many past winners who I'm no admirer of. Sadly, even those were not met. The book follows Rose, a girl growing up in severe poverty in the s...
