Review Quotes: "One of Trevor's finest works . . . Few living writers are capable of such mournful depth as William Trevor, and here he has given us an evensong to time itself."
--The Boston Globe
"Trevor was and remains an author against whom other talents are measured. His work earns its place in the canon that 'time's esteem' will keep alive."
--The Economist "Mr. Trevor's pure observation and transparent prose should shame other writers."
--
New York Sun "Beautifully drawn and revelatory. Beautifully drawn and revelatory."
--
Harper's Magazine "Beautiful and devastating . . . Trevor has once again captured the terrible beauty of Ireland's fate, and the fate of us all-at the mercy of history, circumstance, and the vicissitudes of time."
--Alice McDermott,
The Atlantic Monthly "From the award-winning author of
Felicia's Journey and
My House in Umbria, a new novel that may well be his masterpiece."
