Small Things Like These

“A very short, gripping novel set in Ireland in the 1980s. Shouldn't take you more than three or four hours to read. Well worth it.”

“A short read that swept me to a different place and made me have an immediate soft spot for Furlong. I love Keegan’s writing and how she is able to take you on a character’s moral journey with such tenderness and humanness. Also loved Foster from Claire Keegan as well.”

“This book is just shy of 120 pages. Do yourself a favor and read it on a rainy afternoon”

“All CLaire Keegan's novellas, but this one was my first.”

“Don’t underestimate the power of this short book”

“January 2026 Read”

“Such a beautiful book. A masterpiece about a dark topic - the Magdalene Laundries. Sparely and perfectly told.”

“Heartwrenching and also Christmas”

“this + Foster by CK as well. Claire Keegan knows how to pack so much heart and soul and reckoning into a single sentence.”

“Started this when I went to bed, couldn't close my eyes before finishing it.”
