Small Things Like These by Claire KeeganMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A man's quota for compassion is put to the test.
This is a very short novel. Or is it a novella? Or, could it be an extremely long short story? Anyhow, it doesn't take long to read, or to listen to. And is is very much worth the time spent.
The main character is Bill Furlong. He's a coal salesman in Ireland and the year is 1985. I listened to the audiobook version and loved the Irish accent and setting. I liked hearing about his family and town.
There's not much I can say without giving spoilers so will just say it is a lovely story that gives us a lot to think about.
