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 Stroutbr>br>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.br>br>''Trevor is a master of both language and storytelling'' Hilary Mantelbr>br>''He is one of the great short-story writers, at his best the equal of Chekhov'' John Banvillebr>br>''The greatest living writer of short stories in the English language'' New Yorker>
