A new collection from “the greatest living writer of short stories in the English language” (The New Yorker)
The publication of a new book by William Trevor is a true literary event. One of our finest chroniclers of the human condition, Trevor’s precise and unflinching insights into the lives of ordinary people are evidenced once again in this stunning collection of twelve stories. Subtle yet powerful, these exquisitely nuanced tales of regret, deception, adultery, aging, and forgiveness are a rare pleasure, and they confirm Trevor’s reputation as a master of the form. From a chance encounter between two childhood friends to memories of a newly widowed man to a family grappling with the sale of ancestral land, Trevor examines with grace and skill the tenuous bonds of our relationships, the strengths that hold us together, and the truths that threaten to separate us.
“ [A] magisterial new collection . . . These stories stay in the mind long after they’re finished.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“ These stories possess an unwavering moral center that is in itself a measure of greatness.”
—The Boston Globe
New York Times Notable Book
