For our May Book Chat we will be reading Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan: https://abc.nl/book-details/small-things-like-these/@9780571368709

About the book:

Winner of the 2022 Orwell Prize for Political Fiction.

It is 1985, in an Irish Town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces into his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him - and encounters the complicit silences of a people controlled by the Church.

The long-awaited new work from the author of Foster , Small Things Like These is an unforgettable story of hope, quiet heroism and tenderness.

Happy reading!
