Description
Death in Summer by William Trevor is a haunting and compassionate novel about three deaths that summer. The story begins with Letitia's sudden death, leaving her husband Thaddeus to grapple with the details of her final afternoon. A few weeks later, another death occurs, this time after Thaddeus's mother-in-law helps him find a new nanny for their baby. As the household struggles to settle down, the last nanny surprisingly returns, bringing with her a third tragedy. Trevor's skill is evident in his beautifully paced and mesmerizing narrative, offering finely drawn glimpses of imperfect lives.
