Too Much Happiness
By Alice Munro
Alice Munro's 2009 collection gathers ten stories. In one, a woman who lost her three children to her husband's violence visits him in a psychiatric hospital; in another, a recently widowed woman is confronted by a stranger who enters her home. The long title story follows Sofia Kovalevsky, the nineteenth-century Russian mathematician and novelist, on her final journey across Europe. The stories explore cruelty, chance, grief and the strength people find to keep living.
