"These nineteen stories - selected by Trevor himself from The Collected Stories and After Rain - capture the nuances of rural and middle-class life in the Ireland he knows so well. Here are its people, their lives driven by love, faith, and duty, surviving in a culture that blends tradition with transformation."—BOOK JACKET.
