Tämä pieni kirja osuu sydämeen ja herättää tunteita. Miten Claire Keegan onnistuukin luomaan vain 83 sivulla näin kauniin ja tunnelmallisen tarinan. 

Nopealukuinen tarina vie mukanaan heti ensimmäisestä sivusta asti. Iso suositus Kasvatille.

Mr. Kinsella reminded me so much of Matthew Cuthbert. ❤️ I am amazed at how much Claire Keegan can do in so few pages. I just want more and more and more.

This book got me out of a very long reading slump. It was beautiful and cathartic and 100% lives up to the hype

Stunning and devastating. The reveal about the son, as well as is hinted about the girl...what she is able to do with that little space. Wow
