90 reviewsAn Irish country girl marries in haste but finds an escape from her loveless marriage in William Trevor’s haunting and evocative tale.
"Marvellous, superb. As rich and moving as anything I have read in years. When I reach the end . . . I wanted to start right again at the beginning." - The Guardian
Young, ingenuous Mary Louise Dallon, fearful of being trapped in her parents’ cramped farmhouse, cannot resist the limited attractions of the nearby small town. She marries into it, only to discover despair and desolation from which her sheltered girlhood had protected her. When she is rescued, it is not by a stalwart lover but by a bespectacled boy in poor health who reads her Turgenev in a deserted country churchyard.
In Reading Turgenev, an Irish country girl is trapped in a loveless marriage with an older man. But she finds unusual solace in secret meetings with a man who shares her passion for Russian novels. The second story, My House in Umbria tells how romantic novelist Emily Delahunty helps the survivors of a bomb attack on a train and invents colourful pasts for her convalescent patients.
"Inquisitive and loving. Trevor's is among the most subtle and sophisticated fiction being written today." - New York Review Of Books
William Trevor's novels won numerous awards, including the Hawthornden Prize and the Whitbread Book of the Year Award. Four of his novels have been nominated for the Booker Prize. His two-volume Collected Stories was published by Viking Penguin in 2009. In 1999 William Trevor received the prestigious David Cohen Literature Prize in recognition of a lifetime’s literary achievement, and in 2002 he was knighted for his services to literature.
