Small Things Like These by Claire
Keegan
Top 5 for Christmas & winter
This exquisite novella of small town mid-1980s Ireland before the economic boom, which was shortlisted for this year’s Booker Prize, is our firm recommendation for anyone looking for a modern twist on the Dickensian Christmas story. Bill Furlong, father of five and local businessman, is not a wealthy man, but a generous one driven by conscience, faith and a deep love for his family. When, one cold Christmas, he becomes aware of disturbing events at the local convent, all these attributes are put to the test. How will beautiful Bill Furlong respond?
