View from Castle Rock

From her ancestors' view from Edinburgh's Castle Rock in the eighteenth century to her parents' thwarted ambitions in Ontario, and her own awakening in 1950s Canada, Munro effortlessly weaves fact and myth to create an epic story of past and present, proving that fiction has much to tell us about life.

Din punctul de vedere al stramosilor ei de la Castle Rock din Edinburgh in secolul al XVIII-lea pana la ambitiile zadarnicite ale parintilor ei in Ontario si propria ei trezire in Canada din anii 1950, Munro impleteste fara efort fapte si mituri pentru a crea o poveste epica a trecutului si prezentului, demonstrand ca fictiunea multe sa ne spuna despre viata.
