Evening Book Club: "Small Things Like These" by Claire Keegan

Join our relaxed, friendly neighborhood book club! For this meeting, we are planning to meet live at the Youngstown Free Library, but there will be a simultaneous Zoom option available.

This month, we'll be discussing "Small Things Like These" by Claire Keegan. This novella came out in 2021, and its synopsis is below:

“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 a bestseller in France and certain to be read worldwide for generations to come, 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.”
