Elizabeth Strout on her selection:
William Trevor is brilliant at capturing\\u202fthe nuances of many people\'s perspectives, all in one story, as he does in this story of a young woman is who just reaching adulthood.\\u202f We see her sorrows, confusions, and the poignancy of all the characters involved.\\u202f Trevor is a wonder in his ability to portray characters without his own judgment ever intervening, he just tells us what we need to know\\u2014and then we can weep as well.
