5.0 out of 5 stars Poignant, 22 Mar 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
At the age of fifty-eight, Harry looks back on one of the most important times of his life. When he was 15, Europe was locked in World War II, and Ireland (Eire) existed in the "Emergency," an era of uncomfortable neutrality and semi-deprivation. And then, into his quiet life came Frau Messinger, the English-born wife of a German émigré. Drawn like a moth to a flame, Harry became wrapped up in Frau Messinger, developing a love and devotion for her beyond the understanding of all of the other people in his life.

In this bittersweet novella, William Trevor tells a poignant tale of a love beyond what most authors can comprehend. I found it moving beyond words.

Beyond that, though, the book is fascinating for giving the reader a peek into a forgotten time and place, Eire during World War II. I wish I could say more about this book, but words really do escape me. Let me just say that I loved this book, and highly recommend it.
