In another, a young woman, in the aftermath of an unusual and humiliating seduction, reacts in a clever if less-than-admirable fashion. Other tales uncover the \"deep-holes\" in a marriage, the unsuspected cruelty of children, and, in the title story, the yearnings of a nineteenth-century female mathematician.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307390349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/06\/2010 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2010 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alice Munro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051635994805,"sku":"9780307390349","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/too-much-happiness-9780307390349","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
