Here we encounter a blind piano tuner whose wonderful memories of his first wife are cruelly distorted by his second; a woman in a difficult marriage who must choose between her indignant husband and her closest friend; two children, survivors of divorce, who mimic their parents'' melodramas; and a heartbroken woman traveling alone in Italy who experiences an epiphany while studying a forgotten artist''s Annunciation. \u003cbr\u003eTrevor is, in his own words, ''a storyteller. My fiction may, now and again, illuminate aspects of the human condition, but I do not consciously set out to do so.'' Conscious or not, he touches us in ways that few writers even dare to try.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320275378558,"sku":"NW9780140258349","price":9.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780140258349.jpg?v=1778235618","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/after-rain","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
