Carried Away
A short story by Alice Munro explores the letter correspondence between a librarian in Carstairs, Ontario, and a local soldier, away at the front, during the 1918 influenza pandemic.
"The letter was addressed to 'The Librarian, Carstairs Public Library.'" Alice Munro's Carried Away: a soldier writes home from the Great War, and decades later his words still ripple through the life of the woman who received them.
