Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan
5.0
dark hopeful inspiring reflective sad

This is the story of a man trying to honor his own values in a society where values seems to have been lost. 

How any author can say this much in just over a hundred pages is absurd. Truly a masterpiece. 

The prose, pacing and narration in this is spot on. Everyone should read this. Especially at this point in history. Remembering that kindness and reflection goes a long way, is something we should all be aware of.
