Just finished this. Took me a few days and that’s unusual for me because I usually fly through Claire Keegans novels. I found myself trudging through this one and overall I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as her other novels. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m in the wrong frame of mind (shuck could be very likely) or just wasn’t as into the topics of this particular one. It’s a series of short stories, all different but centred around secrecy, family dynamics and relationships. If you enjoy Claire Keegans books I see no reason not to give this a read but if you’re new to her writing I wouldn’t start here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of five stars.
