Love and Summer

William Trevor

It's summer and nothing much is happening in Rathmoye. So the arrival of a stranger, who begins photographing the mourners at Mrs Connulty's funeral, does not go unnoticed. Mrs Connulty's daughter, liberated at last by the death of her imperious mother, resolves to keep an eye on Florian Kilderry, and it's she who comes to witness the events that follow. Ellie, the young second wife of farmer Dillahan, falls in love with Florian and though he plans to leave Ireland, a dangerously reckless attachment develops between them . In a characteristically masterly way Trevor evokes the passions and frustrations felt by Ellie and Florian, and by the people of a small Irish town during one long summer.
