FEATURING:
“Small Things Like These” by Claire Keegan
This 2021 novella was a finalist for the Booker Prize and was chosen by the New York Times Book Club last December.

“A tiny thing itself ... set in a small village in Ireland, just before Christmas in 1985. Here the friendly mundanities of a workingman’s daily routine meet the grim shadow cast by the country’s Magdalene laundries.”
—New York Times Book Review

“(O)ne immediately senses that Keegan is breathing something vital into the season’s most cherished tales, until, as gently as snow falling, her little book accrues the unmistakable aura of a classic.”
—Washington Post Review
