Julieta: Three Stories
A schoolteacher named Juliet becomes swept up when she meets an older man on a train and they begin having an affair. In the aftermath, she visits her parents as a young mother. Eventually, Julieta struggles searching for contact with her estranged daughter. Throughout these phases of life, Juliet radiates warmth, dignity, and hope, even as she is unflinching in the face of betrayal and loss.
Alice Munro is cherished for her exquisite, affecting meditations on the human heart, and her three linked short stories (Chance, Soon, and Silence) are compiled here to create Julieta, the novella that inspired Pedro Almodóvar's film of the same name, and this edition also includes a foreword by the Spanish filmmaker.
