The Hill Bachelors

Twelve stories by William Trevor, who is widely considered one of the best short-story writers of his time--his 10th volume of short stories and his 28th book. Trevor writes about his usual poignant characters: a 9-year-old who hopes a movie role will make her family love her; a young farmer who struggles to choose between love and the work that fulfills him; an aged priest who deplores modern times; and a sad suburban family that can't find a way to express what's really important.
