The Silence in the Garden by William Trevor
Carriglas is the island estate off County Cork where Sarah Pollexfen goes to live as governess to her cousins on the eve of the First World War. Helplessly, Sarah watches her cousins lead isolated and empty lives as if punishing themselves for a past crime. And somewhere in the garden of Carriglas there are secrets waiting to be discovered.
William Trevor was born in County Cork in 1928 and spent his childhood in various provincial Irish towns. He went to Trinity College, Dublin and then to England in 1953. He now lives in Devon. In 1977 William Trevor received an honorary CBE in recognition of his services to literature, and in 1998 he was awarded the prestigious David Cohen British Literature Prize for a lifetime's achievement in writing.
