The Three Stories that Inspired the Movie
With a foreword by PedroAlmodovar
Alice Munro is cherished for her exquisite, affecting meditations on the human heart. In these three linked stories, Chance, Soon, and Silence which, together, inspired Pedro Almodovar s film Julieta her virtuosic talents are once again on display. The stories follow a schoolteacher named Juliet as she is swept up by fate: meeting an older man on a train and starting an affair; later, visiting her parents as a young mother; and later still, searching for contact with her estranged daughter. As with all of Munro s characters, Juliet radiates warmth, dignity, and hope, even as she is unflinching in the face of betrayal and loss. In Munro s hands, her journey is as surprising, extraordinary, and precious as life itself."
