As a binational; French and English, reading this novel set in France following an Irish man and a French woman was beautiful. The fact the text was first published as a standalone under the title: Misogynie in French is also beautiful. Short and quick but full of depth.
With few words, Claire Keegan opens a conversation on Misogyny.

Absolutely loved the beautiful writing and gorgeous narration (audiobook). I much preferred this to Small Things Like These. Really moving writing that built a sense of doom from the start.
