The Love Department by William Trevor - a darkly comic novel about
a thief of the heart, by one of the world's best writers From the
offices of her Love Department, Lady Dolores cures the heartaches
of the lonely wives of Wimbledon with inimitable flourish and
finesse. When her newest protege, the somewhat naive Edward
Blakeston-Smith, is sent on a mission - to learn the secrets of
seductive, scheming Septimus Tuam and stop him in his tracks - he
learns all about love, its friends and enemies. The Love Department
was William Trevor's third novel, published in 1966. It will be
enjoyed by readers of Colm Toibin, Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark.
'A fantasy which proliferates entertainingly from a germ of reality
- the reality of boredom felt by comfortably-off suburban wives'
Listener 'William Trevor can pack into ten or twenty pages an
astounding richness of pathos, humour and tragedy' Francis King
William Trevor was born in Mitchelstown, County Cork, in 1928, and
was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He has lived in England
for many years. The author of numerous acclaimed collections of
short stories and novels, he has won many awards including the
Whitbread Book of the Year, The James Tait Black Memorial Prize and
the Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence. He has been
shortlisted three times for the Booker Prize: in 1976 with his
novel The Children of Dynmouth, in 1991 with Reading Turgenev and
in 2002 with The Story of Lucy Gault. He recently received the
prestigious David Cohen Literature Prize in recognition of a
lifetime's literary achievement.
