Simply lovely. This year will be my third Christmas reading it, and I’ve decided it’s going to be one of my personal traditions.

I’d highly recommend waiting until the holiday season to read it but not a moment longer!

Have you seen the film?

Kath

@katherinethemediocreSep 22, 2026

No. If I’m honest, I’m a little afraid of it changing my experience of the book. Would you recommend?

Yes. Cillian Murphy’s performance is fantastic and it does a good job translating to the big screen.

Thanks for the encouragement. We’ll give it a try this year!

“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.”
