After Rain - Twelve remarkable stories by the master storyteller William Trevor

''There is no better short story writer in the English-speaking world'' Wall Street Journal

In this collection of twelve dazzling, acutely rendered tales, William Trevor plumbs the depths of the human heartHere we encounter a blind piano tuner whose wonderful memories of his first wife are cruelly distorted by his second; a woman in a difficult marriage who must choose between her indignant husband and her closest friend; two children, survivors of divorce, who mimic their parents'' melodramas; and a heartbroken woman traveling alone in Italy who experiences an epiphany while studying a forgotten artist''s Annunciation.


Trevor is, in his own words, ''a storyteller. My fiction may, now and again, illuminate aspects of the human condition, but I do not consciously set out to do so.'' Conscious or not, he touches us in ways that few writers even dare to try.
