A New York Times Notable Book. A collection of twelve short stories about men and women and life's missed opportunities. Title story about a man's choice between his long-time love and a life of solitude on the family farm originally appeared in the Nov. 8th, 1999 issue of The New Yorker. "These twelve beautifully rendered tales reveal Trevor's unrivalled compassion for the human condition. His tight, perfected short stories – each an astonishing performance in which melodramatic situations are turned, by acute psychological insight, into classic drama – make him the greatest living writer in English." –Weekly Standard
