PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
These two Booker Prize-nominated novellas demonstrate the Irish writer William Trevor's great gifts. The second, My House in Umbria, is the story of an ex-prostitute who settles in Umbria to write trashy romance novels, but whose life is disturbed by local political events. It's a beautifully rendered story, redolent with local Umbrian color.
