Alice Munro鈥檚 short stories, often set in small town Canada, weave together fiction and autobiography to explore the complexities of human life. The author, who died in May, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013.

In 鈥淟ying Under the Apple Tree鈥�, a girl approaching womanhood grapples with first love, social expectations and future possibilities. Her relationship with the local stable boy is deepening but she鈥檚 reluctant to go public.
