pickPsychological fiction masquerading as simple earthly vignettes. Trevor has a surgical precision that finds the tipping points of ordinary lives and reveals the quiet turmoil behind the pretended smiles. His prose has a luxury of detail but somehow he wraps it into the small frames of these stories where lives are altered beyond ever returning. Like a good album where every track works but in different ways. I wish I'd savored them more slowly.

so-soA couple of these were as amazing as a William Trevor story is reputed to be; the rest, not so much. My first foray into his oeuvre, not my last.
Shame isn't bad, her voice from somewhere else insists. Nor the humility that is its gift.
My #minimalistcover entry for #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge . This is from (one of) my TBR shelf(s). I haven't read this particular short story collection by Trevor, but he's one of my favorites so I've no doubt I'll love it.
