Dermot Crowley reads from the novel by William Trevor about a brief summer love affair in the rural west of Ireland.

In the little town of Rathmoye, Miss Connulty has had years to mourn the youth she never had, and the brief happiness sundered from her. Now, watching from her boarding house, she observes a nascent friendship between Ellie Dillahan, child of an institution, and the newly-arrived Florian Kilderry, a dark-haired young photographer.
