Alice Munro
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
<p>Alice Munro has long been heralded for her penetrating, lyrical prose, and in "The Bear Came Over the Mountain" -- the basis for Sarah Polley's film <i>Away From Her</i> -- her prodigious talents are once again on display. As she follows Grant, a retired professor whose wife Fiona begins gradually to lose her memory and drift away from him, we slowly see how a lifetime of intimate details can create a marriage, and how mysterious the bonds of love really are.<br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i></br></br></p>
