William Trevor's Last Stories

With a career that spanned more than half a century, William Trevor is regarded as one of the best anglophone writers. Now, in William Trevor's Last Stories, the master storyteller delivers ten exquisitely rendered tales. Nine have never been published in book form before. The stories illuminate the human condition.

Subtle yet powerful, Trevor gives us insights into the lives of ordinary people. We encounter a tutor and his pupil, whose lives are thrown into turmoil when they meet again years later. In another, a young girl who discovers the mother she believed dead is alive and well. One story involves a piano teacher who accepts her pupil's theft in exchange for his beautiful music.
