Lives of Girls and Women

Small prospects. A novel of girls and women ( in the original Lives of Girls and Women, 1971) is the second collection of short stories by Alice Munro. A German translation of Hildegard Petry was first published in 1983 by Klett - Cotta, Stuttgart. In the latest edition of the Berliner Taschenbuch -Verlag, 2006, the collection has a volume of 362 pages.

The main character Del Jordan consists of story to story battles and lived through repeated crises. At first rather inclined to see two separate worlds, arises in the course out of the collection that the boundaries are blurred and a decision for one of the two sides is not possible and not useful, so Rae McCarthy MacDonald (1978 ) in an analysis the collection in which it is said, the band would take the form of a novel. Jeremy Lalonde (2004) referred to the band as a (Ab) sequence of short stories ( " short story sequence" ).
