Keegan’s writing is timeless. This could easily sit on a shelf next to Little Women. She creates a world that feels far fuller than the page count suggests.

Small Things Like These follows Bill Furlong along his day in a small Irish town, Christmas 1985, as he reflects on his life and our choice to do what is right.
