Probably because he's Irish William Trevor is a natural storyteller having 'a way with words'. This book is a collection of ten short stories, with no obvious connection to each other and possibly spanning his long career. Written beautifully as always, with his typical insight into the human condition, there is just no need for a long novel as everything necessary is there. Perfect escapism for the extraordinary time that we are living through.
