A short and really good story. A nice palate cleanser between bigger books or something to get you reading again.
Good things come in small packages. The All of It is one of those tiny, timeless tales. Impeccably told where a seemingly innocuous sentence or two can tell you so much about a character and their back story. Suspenseful and satisfying. Best read not knowing what lies ahead, so no spoilers here!

"One thing I've learned...in this life it's best to keep the then and the now and the what's-to-be as close together in your thoughts as you can. It's when you let gaps creep in, when you separate out the intervals and dwell on them, that you can't bear the sorrow." Binge read before bed time
Speedy summary: Father Declan hears a shocking deathbed confession and is told the entirety of the story.
Thoughts: In this short novella, Father Declan struggles between being compassionate toward Edna over her struggles in life and moral indignation. Even with the short length, I expected the tale to be a bit more dramatic, especially upon reading the description. This book is a quiet, little character study that is a quick one sitting read.
