[quote=Anonymous]I've been in a reading funk and saw Claire Keegan's short story, Foster, recommended. It was so good that I went right into reading her newest book, Small Things Like These, which is only 118 pages. Both are set in 1980s Ireland and the language, emotion, and setting really transported me. Foster (short story) - the oldest daughter of a hardscrabble family with too many kids to care for and another on the way gets sent to live with childless distant relatives for the summer. Small Things Like These (novella) - working-class father of five daughters feels called to action after witnessing conditions at one of Ireland's Magdalen Laundries (home for teen/unwed mothers).
