Product Description

Product Description
A small, pretty seaside town is harshly exposed by a young boy's curiosity. His prurient interest, oddly motivated, leaves few people unaffected - and the consequence cannot be ignored. This is a remarkable account of the evil that can lurk in the most harmless setting and for readers now it has the startling ability to bring back to life the now very strange seeming English world of thirty years ago.

About the Author
William Trevor was born in Mitchelstown, Co. Cork, in 1928. In 1946 he went to Trinity College, Dublin. All his major novels as well as his Collected Stories are published by Penguin. His most recent book, the story collection The Hill Bachelors, was published in paperback in July 2001.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, 7 Jan 2004
By A Customer
I read this some time ago but it has resonated ever since. It follows a seemingly mundane existence in a typical sea side resort projected through the eyes of a curious young boy whose pointed questions open up long buried secrets.

Trevor was a sculpture before becoming a writer and this book is a masterclass in delicately sculpted fine prose. It won a much deserved Whitbread prize in 76. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you read it in the 70¡¯s read it again.
