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. Claire Keegan's book Small Things Like These was a Sunday Times Bestseller w/c 05-11-2022 ----- Readers love Small Things Like These: 'Gripping and very moving and thought-provoking ... brilliantly done, but also softly and slowly. You'll never regret reading this book, but it will haunt you for ever after.' 'I haven't loved a book for so long. This has changed it. Every word counted. Moral, heartfelt & a beautiful read.' 'This is a beautifully written story, both simple and profound. Set at Christmas, it is, in essence, an exploration of the best and the worst of what it is to be human. A stunning achievement.' 'A remarkable novel - short, succinct, moving. I read it in one sitting early on a Sunday morning before anybody else was up.' 'This book needs to sit and settle with the reader after it's read. Much lies here within what seems a simple tale. It strikes to the heart.'
