"Small Things Like These "

by Claire Keegan

Friday, March 21 at 11:00 am on Zoom
 

Claire Keegan's "Small Things Like These" is a masterfully crafted novella that packs a profound emotional punch in its brief 114 pages. Set in 1985 Ireland, the story follows Bill Furlong, a coal merchant grappling with moral dilemmas against the backdrop of the Magdalene Laundries scandal. Keegan's prose is exquisitely spare yet deeply evocative, painting a vivid portrait of small-town Irish life and the insidious influence of the Catholic Church.

An international bestseller, 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 DROP-IN BOOK CLUB on Zoom, Village members can come to any meeting. There are no dues, no requirement to participate. We hope those interested in joining will read the book beforehand and be ready to engage in a lively discussion. Each meeting will be moderated by one of the members.
