Recensione:

“The View From Castle Rock is meticulously crafted; elegant, stylish, a superb reading not only of life's vicissitudes but of the human need to connect past to present, to make sense of chaos and to find consolation in what can be salvaged from sorrow.”
– London Free Press
“Munro has, as usual, written a lovely book and is serenely well-honed in her craft.”
– Globe and Mail
“In The View from Castle Rock her full range of gifts is on display: indelible characters, deep insights about human behaviour and relationships, vibrant prose, and seductive, suspenseful storytelling. . . . Getting this close to the core of the girl who would become the master is a privilege and a pleasure not to be missed. And reliably as ever when the subject is human experience, Munro’s stories – whatever the proportions of fiction and fact – always bring us the truth.
— Sigrid Nunez, Publishers Weekly
“I found myself transported, enthralled, oblivious to time.”
— Pat Donnelly, Montreal Gazette

— Jonathan Franzen, New York Times Book Review
“When reading her work it is difficult to remember why the novel was ever invented.”
— The Times (U.K.)
