Reviews for The Moons of Jupiter
She has a touch of genius
Mail on Sunday
Only a few writers continue to create those full-bodied miniature universes of the old school. Some of her short stories are so ample and fulfilling that they feel like novels. They present whole landscapes and cultures, who families of characters
Anne Tyler The writer's questioning memory gives us sharp flashes of reality that are so vividly recalled they permit us to live another life for a moment.
Publishers Weekly
Witty, subtle, passionate, The Moons of Jupiter is exceptionally knowledgeable about the content and movement - the entanglements and entailments - of individual human feeling. And the knowledge it offers can't be looked up elsewhere
New York Times
Munro is in a class of her own.... No other writer working today is able to invest the humble story with more power, grace or breadth.... Munro has been compared to Chekhov... She has the haunting lyricism and the indulgent wisdom to qualify.
