Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories
Alice Munro
A story collection: the fate of a housekeeper with a "frizz of red
hair and a high freckled
forehead" just entering the age of old-maidenhood reversed by two
teenage girls' practical joke; a lifelong philanderer finds the tables
turned when he puts his wife into an old-age home; a college student
visiting her aunt for the first time recognizes the family
furniture and stumbles on a long-hidden secret and its meaning.
