The Hired Girl: Part 1
Episode 4 of 10
A girl spending the summer as live-in help for a wealthy Ontario family feels the sting of class distinction for the first time. Read by Laurel Lefkow.
Alice Munroβs short stories, often set in small-town Canada, weave together fiction and autobiography to explore the complexities of human life. The author, who died in May, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013.
In βThe Hired Girlβ, a summer spent working as the live-in help for a wealthy family opens a young womanβs eyes to previously unencountered class distinctions.
