In "Last Stories," William Trevor, one of the most revered short story writers, presents his final collection: a series of ten tales that dive deep into the subtleties of human experience. From the finely-wrought narration of a reunion between a tutor and pupil that spirals into unforeseen chaos, to the emotive discovery of a young girl realizing her believed-deceased mother is still alive, Trevor uncovers the quiet dramas that unfold in everyday lives. Through his contemplative prose, he explores the complex entanglements of friendship, family, and the unexpected moments that alter one's course, leaving readers with reflections that echo beyond the last page.
