Skinner wrote that in her 20s she told her mother, who died earlier this year, about Fremlin's abuse but that it stayed a secret for decades. The two-piece monument outside the library in Clinton includes a metal bench acknowledging Munro's Nobel win and a coffee table with four of her book titles stacked on top.In an interview with The Canadian Press, Ginn said he couldn't foresee making changes to the structure in light of the recent revelations, because Munro will always remain "a Nobel Prize winner."
Canadian author Alice Munro is photographed at her daughter Sheila's home during an interview in Victoria on Dec. 10, 2013. Reached on Tuesday in Wingham, Steffler said she was shocked by Skinner's op-ed and "didn't have a clue" about what Fremlin had done, but said she hoped the article would spur more victims of sexual abuse to come forward and be supported.
"She should have been more approachable by her daughter, but we can't do anything about it now. Both Gerry Fremlin is dead and Alice is dead. We have to worry more about Andrea now."Alice Munro fans were shocked and distressed to hear her daughter tell of sexual abuse at the hands of Munro's second husband Gerald Fremlin.
