Last Stories by William Trevor (Omnibus)

William Trevor's final and posthumous collection of short stories. Read by Niamh Cusack, Hattie Morahan and Dermot Crowley.

Selected stories taken from William Trevor’s final and posthumous collection - published to coincide with what would have been his 90th Birthday.

Often described as the master of the short story, revered by his fellow writers and by his readers, these stories written in the last years of the author’s life contain all his hallmarks; his piercing observation of human life, his humanity, his elegant prose and his distinctive voice.
