This book always makes me think of the Tolstoy quote from Anna Karenina: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” As in, happy families don’t actually exist. In Too Much Happiness, Munro unearths the pains humans experience when they lose what they love. Each story is so intoxicating and vivid, it’s hard to put the book down, no matter how sad it makes you.
