A stunning book. The grace is in the simplicity. It’s important to take this one slowly, like all Keegans work, to let it impact you. There’s a rhythm to her prose that draws you in quietly. Letting it linger will allow the work to go at its own pace.

I've been in the mood for a lot of quick short books, and I just happened to find this. I felt very nostalgic reading this, mostly because my childhood was a little similar to this. I liked it!

Beautifully wrought. Not a wasted word. Makes the reader feel intensely for the young protagonist. Just enough is hinted at about the world around her so the reader is actively engaged in constructing the story. I found myself holding my breath.

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.
