The inimitable William Trevor returns with a story of suspicion, guilt, forbidden love and the possibility of starting over.
It s summer, and nothing much is happening in Rathmoye. So it doesn t go unnoticed when a dark-haired stranger begins photographing the mourners at Mrs. Connulty s funeral. Florian Kilderry couldn t know that the Connultys were said to own half the town. But Miss Connulty resolves to keep an eye on Florian ... and she becomes a witness to the ensuing events. In a characteristically masterful way, Trevor evokes the passions and frustrations in an Irish town during one long summer.
