A review by wanderlustaxa
Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan

4.5

There’s something about an Irish book — this condensed novella was shockingly beautiful and gutting at the same time. I don’t know much about the Magdalene laundries but the book gives a feeling of a town being watched throughly. It asks the question of what does it mean to pay kindness forward and what does goodness mean in a beautiful way. My only complaint, as it is with most novellas, is I want to know what happens next. Greedy as always.
