Felicia's Journey

<b>Perfectly executed and chilling... a sad and oddly moving tale of lost opportunities and misplaced hopes.<b><i>--The New York Times</i></b> <p/>Trevor was our twentieth century Chekov.<i>--Wall Street Journal</i></b> <p/>Felicia is unmarried pregnant and penniless. She steals away from a small Irish town and drifts through the industrial English Midlands searching for the boyfriend who left her. Instead she meets up with the fat fiftyish unfailingly reasonable Mr. Hilditch who is looking for a new friend to join the five other girls in his Memory Lane. But the strange sad terrifying tricks of chance unravel both his and Felicia's delusions in a story that will magnetize fans of Alfred Hitchcock and Ruth Rendell even as it resonates with William Trevor's own impeccable strength and piercing profundity (<i>The Washington Post Book World</i>).
