Fools of Fortune
Penguin Classics is proud to welcome William Trevor--Ireland's answer to Chekhov (The Boston Globe) and one of the best writers of our era (The Washington Post)--to our distinguished list of literary masters.

Led by a zealous sergeant, the Black and Tans set fire to the family home, and only young Willie and his mother escape alive. Fatherless, Willie grows into manhood while his alcoholic mother's bitter resentment festers. And though he finds love, Willie is unable to leave the terrible injuries of the past behind.
