Given to me by a friend. Here's the blurb:
"Rose and her stepmother Flo live in Hanratty - across the bridge from the 'good' part of town. Rose, alternately fascinated and appalled by the rude energy of the people around her, grows up nursing her hope of outgrowing her humble beginnings and plotting an escape to university.
Rose makes her escape and thinks herself free. But Hanratty's question - Who Do You Think You Are? - rings in Rose's ears during her days in Vancouver, mocks her attempts to make her marriage successful and haunts her new career back East as an actress and interviewer.
In these stories of Rose and Flo, Alice Munro explores the universal story of growing up - Rose's struggle to accept herself tells the story of our lives."
Extent: 256pp

Looks quite tempting so may not be releasing soon - in the words of someone ' I may be some time' or something to that effect. Thanks for the thought in sending as part of my surprise birthday challenge.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
RELEASE NOTES:
I have just finished this book while travelling from Cuidad Del Este to Ascunsion in Paraguay travelling with my daughter. I found this a bit of a dry read which I did not enjoy as much as I hoped I would. I am leaving this at the Anglo where my daughter is teaching English for a year to add to the library, or just for people to read.
