Description
In a quiet Irish town, Lucy Gault’s life is shaped by what she cannot say and what she believes she must endure. When a young tutor enters her world, their growing closeness offers the promise of love and renewal—yet the past, along with guilt and misread intentions, steadily complicates every step forward. As relationships strain under misunderstanding and restraint, Lucy is forced to confront the cost of silence and the ways loyalty can both protect and imprison. With William Trevor’s signature precision and compassion, this character-driven novel explores love withheld, moral responsibility, and the fragile line between fate and choice.
