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

Ellie Dillahan, child of an institution, married too young to a good man haunted by a moment's misjudgement, has been disturbed by the arrival of a dark-haired young photographer in Rathmoye. While for Florian Kilderry, the child of exiles, about to go into exile himself, the girl on the bicycle might offer a moment's friendship and the chance to forget.
