Love and Summer
of William Trevor
Description
In his characteristically masterly way, Trevor evokes the passions and frustrations of the people of a small Irish town during one long summer.Itâs summer and nothing much is happening in Rathmoye. So it doesnât go unnoticed when a dark-haired stranger appears on his bicycle and begins photographing the mourners at Mrs. Connultyâs funeral. Florian Kilderry couldnât know that the Connultys are said to own half the town: he has only come to Rathmoye to photograph the scorched remains of its burnt-out cinema. A few miles out in the country, Dillahan, a farmer and a decent man, has married again: Ellie is the young convent girl who came to work for him when he was widowed. Ellie leads a quiet, routine life, often alone while Dillahan runs the farm. Florian is planning to leave Ireland and start over. Ellie is settled in her new role as Dillahanâs wife. But Florianâs visit to Rathmoye introduces him to Ellie, and a dangerously reckless attachment begins. 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.
