'What a writer he was; he could flip over a sentence so gently, and
showthe underbelly in a heartbeat. His work is always quietly
compassionate' Elizabeth Strout In this final collection of ten
exquisite, perceptive and profound stories, William Trevor probes
into the depths of the human spirit. Here we encounter a tutor and
his pupil, whose lives are thrown into turmoil when they meet again
years later; a young girl who discovers the mother she believed
dead is alive and well; and a piano-teacher who accepts her pupil's
theft in exchange for his beautiful music. These gorgeous stories -
the last that Trevor wrote before his death - affirm his place as
one of the world's greatest storytellers. 'Trevor is a master of
both language and storytelling' Hilary Mantel 'He is one of the
great short-story writers, at his best the equal of Chekhov' John
Banville 'The greatest living writer of short stories in the
English language' New Yorker
