The Hill Bachelors

A book to be treasured by all readers: William Trevor's first major collection of stories since the highly acclaimed "After Rain" shows the master of short stories at the height of his powers. With understatement and startling precision William Trevor writes about all of us about longing and sadness, the loving and the lonely, those who barely have control over their lives and those who have something to hide. Whether writing of the dying of a day, a love or a way of life, Trevor tells a story of such distilled beauty and intelligence that humanity illuminates even its darkest corners. Eloquent, subtle and brilliantly crafted, "The Hill Bachelors" will hold a beloved place amongst William Trevor's award-winning body of work."
