It’s a necessary story. We need more stories about good men doing the right thing. The power of one person who sees injustice. And who better than Keegan to tell the story.

I love this author, thank you Cilian Murphy for recommending this wonderful author in an interview.

Exactly, a decent man doing the right thing. We are left to imagine the consequences his decency and his actions in defiance of institutionalised cruelty. Keegan has given us enough in the story to know those consequences will not be pleasant. I've read two of her works now, she is a master of understatement. There's a subtlety here that is crisp and direct. She manages to say so much, tell so much in a small space.

Love Small Things Like These. Less is more. Keegan is at her best.

Her writing is exquisite. What a treat to hear her read a passage from ‘small things like these’.

I sat down to read this gem of a book today and didn't get up until I finished it. Pure magic.

This book makes me cry with happiness ! So touching ❤ Haven’t got such in years ! Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏🏻

A writer like Keegan doesn't come along very often--beyond measure, she is gifted and a joy, a treasure. When I turned the last page, I felt my life and my world was complete. Every word she writes is a gem, a jewel, priceless 👏🏽☮🫶❤ Than-you 🙏🏽

An incredibly honest and deeply moving novella. Just beautiful.

I’ve just read it today. I’d read Antarctica and Foster. I can’t help thinking if Bill had had a father married to his mother, he would not have had the inner turmoil and then the courage to have taken the compassionate action

Give her the prize! This story is everything

This charming book, I feel like I want to read every Christmas. It’s simply beautiful!

Just brilliant, words brimming with life.

Love Claire Keegan book

I just read it this morning and I really liked it. Since I was 4 I wanted to be a famous writer and I will never do anything with my life. I suck. (50 years ago i was sitting in the back seat of my dads old jalopy as he drove in the city of st paul mn. And I had a blank notebook. And I got so excited ! I imagined stories on the page. Stories i wanted to write....) I've been trying to write my rock n roll love story since the 90s. I love to write but I also love to read. I'm glad I stumbled on this book.

Reviews so Irish so exact and so vague

It's so much easier to read this splendid book now, after the revelations of such scandals has finally turned Ireland into a secular democracy rather than a corrupt theocracy. The historical Jesus would surely roll over in his grave if he knew of the many atrocities committed in his name.
