The view from castle rock

Alice Munro mines her rich family background, melding it with her own experiences and the transforming power of her brilliant imagination to create perhaps her most powerful and personal collection yet. A young boy, taken to Edinburgh´s Castle Rock to look across the sea to America, catches a glimpse of his fathers dream. Scottish immigrants experience love and loss on a jouney that leads them to rural Ontario. Wives, mothers, fathers, and children move through uncertanty, ambivalence, and contemplation in these stories of hopes, adversity, and wonder.
