Description
Julia's memory was fading fast, but one thing remained constant: her love of cards. Even as she lost everything that mattered - her children, her home, her possessions - the communal drawing room games continued, a comforting routine in a world that seemed to be slipping away.
A husband sits alone in Harry's Bar in Venice, thinking of his wife who has brought him back to this familiar haunt. Nearby, a young couple quarrels over a game of Canasta. These two stories, among others, make up William Trevor's new collection, "Cheating at Canasta", which explores the themes of missed opportunities and the power of memory in all its fragmented glory.
