Loved this little story. She writes beautifully and I think I may just read everything she’s done.

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.

"Neither one of us talks, the way people sometimes don't when they are happy"
Foster by Claire Keegan was a wonderful novella, my only complaint is that it was not a full novel because I craved so much more when I finished reading. Foster so clearly illustrates love and care from the eyes of a child. My heart melted with every turn of the page. At 92 beautifully written pages this is a perfect binge read.
