Lives of Girls and Women

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lives of Girls and Women, published by McGraw-Hill Ryerson in 1971, is a book of short stories by Alice Munro. All of the stories chronicle the life of a single character, Del Jordan, and accordingly the book is described by some critics as a novel rather than a short story collection.

If viewed as a novel, it is Munro's only novel-length work.

A television adaptation of the book, starring Tanya Allen as Del and Wendy Crewson as her mother Addie, aired on CBC Television in 1994.
