Giotto's Angels

For a man whose memory is not all it should be, art and beauty offer the most constant solace.

A story of deceit and comfort in the backstreets of Dublin. Read by Dermot Crowley.

The last of five stories taken from William Trevor's final and posthumous collection, published in 2018 to coincide with what would have been his 90th Birthday.

Abridged by Rowan Routh.

Often described as the master of the short story, revered by his fellow writers and by his readers, these stories written in the last years of his life contain all his hallmarks; his piercing observation of human life, his humanity, his elegant prose and his distinctive voice.

Producer: Di Speirs

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2018.
