The Hill Bachelors - a remarkable collection of stories from the master storyteller William Trevor’There is no better short story writer in the English-speaking world’ The Wall Street JournalThe Hill Bachelors is a stunning meditation on men and women and the heartbreak of missed opportunities: three people are frozen in a conspiracy of silence that prevents love’s consummation; a nine-year-old dreams that a movie part will heal her fragmented family life; a brother and sister forge a new life amid the terrible beauty of Ireland after the Rebellion; and in the title story a young man chooses between his longtime love and a life of solitude on the family farm. These twelve beautifully rendered tales reveal Trevor’s unrivalled compassion for the human condition.’His tight perfected short stories - each an astonishing performance in which melodramatic situations are turned by acute psychological insight into classic drama - make him the greatest living writer in English’ Weekly StandardReaders of The Story of Lucy Gault and Love and Summer will adore The Hill Bachelors. It will also be cherished by readers of Colm Toibin and William Boyd. William Trevor was born in Mitchelstown County Cork.
