Join us as we discuss Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan.
It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man, faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church. Small Things Like These is a deeply affecting story of hope, quiet heroism, and empathy from one of our most critically lauded and iconic writers.
This is a popular book, so please reserve your copy early! You can ask for a "paused hold" at the front desk to make sure your hold doesn't come in earlier than you'd like.
No registration required. We hope to see you there!
