The Struggles of Alice Munro

As a young mother, Alice Munro wrote in the slivers of time she could find between housekeeping and child rearing duties. Her fiction was kept secret from all but her family and closest friends. While Munro published short stories steadily throughout these years, it ultimately took her almost two decades to put together the material for her first collection.
