The Silence in the Garden by William Trevor - a classic early novel by one of the world’s greatest writersFamily secrets take their toll on the children of an old Irish familyIn the summer of 1904 Sarah Pollenfax the daughter of an impecunious clergyman arrives at Carriglas an island off the coast of Cork to act as governess for her distant cousins. It’s a magical time in a magical place. But when she comes back almost thirty years later after the First World War and the Irish Civil War have taken their toll she discovers that there were things going on during that apparently idyllic summer which now horrify her and which cast a long shadow over the remnants of the family still living there.’William Trevor’s precisions and indirections slowly and balefully accumulate in this his most ambitious novel’ Anthony Thwaite London Review of Books’Offers marvels with Mr Trevor’s customary understated dexterity’ New York TimesWilliam Trevor was born in Mitchelstown Co Cork in 1928.
