  • "In Family sins, William Trevor brings his tremendous empathy and keen eye for detail to these gemlike tales of country life in Ireland. Here are twelve portraits of everyday folk in crisis - haunted by memory, battered by circumstance. The middle-aged women in "The printmaker" and "August Saturday" are consumed by fleeting, long-ago affairs; the young boy in "Children of the Headmaster" is terrified by the disappointments and awful mysteries of impending adulthood; and "Events at Drimaghleen" hinges on a gruesome murder-suicide. Whether grim, poignant, or shot through with flashes of subtle humour, Family sins displays the deft characterization and precise, involving prose that readers the world over have come to expect from William Trevor. -- Back cover."
