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

In 鈥淭he Hired Girl鈥�, the wealthy Ontario set arrive at the island for a party with prejudices in tow as the girl indulges an instinct for cruelty.
