Isn't this the most gorgeous looking two-volume boxed set you've ever seen?
I'd been eyeing this one up for a couple of months and when I dropped a few hints -- oh, okay, I actually ASKED my Other Half if he'd be kind enough to buy it for me for Christmas -- I really didn't expect to receive it.
Come Christmas Day I was handed an envelope. Inside was an A4 sheet of paper. Printed on the sheet of paper was a photograph of this book with a short message: "Merry Christmas, Kim. This gift was too heavy to travel."
I was delighted! A brilliant gift!
When we got back home on Sunday night I finally got to unwrap the actual books, run my hands over the gorgeous binding and drool over the contents: every single short story William Trevor has ever written is included here. That's 1,827 pages worth of fiction to work my way through. My only dilemma, aside from finding the time to read both volumes, is how on earth do I review them?
