Claire Keegan: Small Things Like These (2021, Faber & Faber, Limited)
Sprache: English
Am 3. Dezember 2021 von Faber & Faber, Limited veröffentlicht.
A penetrating snapshot of Irish life under the suffocating weight of Catholic dominance. But true moral strength cannot be suppressed, and every small act erodes that edifice. Beautifully crafted.
There's a very old Jewish teaching which says "whoever saves a life, saves an entire world." This gentle and reflective novella, in which nothing much happens and yet lives change, is a version of this, told through the details of the quiet life of a man in an Irish village.
