Rezension zu „The View from Castle Rock “
"This is a rare and fascinating work" -- Karl Miller Guardian "A stunning achievement" -- Sarah Emily Miano The Times "Beautifully written, this delicate interweaving of fact and fiction is Munro on top form" Daily Mail "The power of Munro's storytelling never falters. It is almost otiose to add to the clamour of praise for her writing, but necessary, nevertheless. This is a remarkable book" -- Jane Shilling Sunday Telegraph "If there is one writer who proves that the short story should never be deemed the uninspiring younger sibling of the novel, it is Munro" -- Melissa McClements Financial Times
