The Shortest Day by Colm Tóibín

mysterious fast-paced

4.0

What a beautifully written and entertaining short story with a combination of fantasy, realism, history and Christmas!! 

The Shortest Day is about an archeological professor who decides to visit a burial chamber in Newgrange over his Christmas break during the winter solstice. The locals are not happy about him coming to the site during this time because there are legends and secrets they wish to protect. I will never think about the shortest day of the year the same ever again!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
