The Moons of Jupiter
By Alice Munro
Alice Munro's 1982 collection contains eleven stories, most about women in middle age facing changes in their marriages, families and sense of themselves. The title story finds a woman visiting her father in a Toronto hospital before his heart surgery and wanders through a planetarium while waiting. Other stories follow affairs, divorces, old friendships and visits home, told with Munro's close attention to memory and to the small moments that change lives.
