This is the second Claire Keegan book I've read, the first being Small Things Like These, and what Keegan does very well is tell a deep and compelling story in a concise manner. I've read books at over 600 pages that only just pack in what Keegan has done in less than 100 pages.
So Late In The Day is a short novella that focuses Cathal, the intricacies of his relationship with Sabine, regret at how it ended and what he could done better. It was interesting take on the differences between men and women and although I put it on as an audiobook in the background, it really made me stop in my tracks and think. Beautifully written and every word has meaning.
