Description
The Children of Dynmouth is a prize-winning novel by William Trevor, first published in 1976. The story follows a curious teenager as he explores the lives of the adults in a seaside town, uncovering sinister secrets that threaten to expose them. This understated yet powerful tale of evil lurking in the most unlikely places is a masterclass in subtlety and restraint. A small masterpiece of understatement, this novel is a work of rare compassion, as Joyce Carol Oates notes. If you enjoyed William Trevor's other works, such as The Story of Lucy Gault and Love and Summer, you will likely find this book to be a compelling read.
