William Trevor's stunning new collection of stories displays this
renowned craftsman at the peak of his powers. A middle-aged couple
meet in a theatre bar for a squalid blind date; a disappointed
priest fears an innocent young girl may run away from home; two
self-certain sisters visit a newly widowed local woman. From these
slender moments Trevor creates whole lives, conjuring up characters
marked by bitterness and loss. William Trevor's graceful prose is a
wonder in itself, and as convincing when inhabiting the mind of a
school lunchmaid, an adulterous Irish country librarian or a
murderer on the London streets. And as is always the case with
William Trevor, venom and tragedy are never far from the still
surface of the stories.
These stories, many of which first appeared in "The New Yorker, are
small masterpieces of observation from one of the most highly
acclaimed and beloved writers of the century.
