Summary
The landmark new novel from award-winning author Claire Keegan



It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man, faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.



Already 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 very short book has the depth of a much longer book. Despite the brevity, I was pulled in, engaged and moved by the protagonist’s decision to do the right thing.

It’s a very short novel …. Certainly loads of room for additional development . The part that was written is well done , but we all know there’s so much to this content that could be exploited

Claire Keegan’s Small Things Like These is a short but powerful story that becomes even more vivid and heartfelt in the audiobook format. Aidan Kelly’s narration enhances the experience with his authentic Irish accent, bringing an additional layer of immersion and emotional depth to the narrative. His pacing and tone perfectly capture the quiet resilience of Bill Furlong, as well as the somber atmosphere of the story’s setting. Listening to the audiobook feels intimate, almost like hearing a personal story shared by someone who lived it. It’s perfect for a reflective experience and lets the listener feel every bit of the moral weight and quiet triumph at the heart of the tale.
