The hill bachelors
/ William Trevor
- New York : Viking , 2000
- 244 p ; 21 cm.
In this short story collection each of the 12 stories is a carefully crafted exploration of how a single act or event can alter a life's course. In several of the stories, loss and yearning prevail, and yet the collection as a whole is not bleak, for many of Trevor's characters are redeemed by small acts of personal courage.
