William Trevor's astonishing range as a writer--his humor, subtlety, and compassionate grasp of human behavior--is fully demonstrated in these two short novels.
In Reading Turgenev, a lonely country girl escapes her loveless marriage in the arms of a bookish young man.
In My House in Umbria, a former madam befriends the other survivors of a terrorist bombing with surprising results.
Nominated for the Booker Award.
