Title: Emotional cripples looking for love in all the wrong places.
Product review: As ususal with William Trevor, the story is all in the details. The book is short, but not a quick read or you'll miss what Trevor's revealing about his characters. All of them are emotionally damaged people looking for love in all the wrong places. The story centers around Thaddeus, a recent widower who is looking for a nanny for his infant daughter. Pettite, a young woman loaded with emotional scars, applies and is rejected for the job. However, she develops an obsession for Thaddeus that makes her dangerous.Even though all the characters have had loveless--and even abuse--childhoods, Trevor somehow avoids making them pathetic.
