THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FOSTER, ANTARCTICA AND WALK THE BLUE FIELDS

A single one of Keegan s grounded, powerful sentences can contain volumes of social history. Every word is the right word in the right place, and the effect is resonant and deeply moving. Hilary Mantel

This is a tale of courage and compassion, of good sons and vulnerable young mothers. Absolutely beautiful. Douglas Stuart

Marvellous-exact and icy and loving all at once. Sarah Moss

A haunting, hopeful masterpiece. Sinéad Gleeson

It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces into his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him - and encounters the complicit silences of a people controlled by the Church.

The long-awaited new work from the author of Foster, Small Things Like These is an unforgettable story of hope, quiet heroism and tenderness.

Astonishing. Claire Keegan makes her moments real - and then she makes them matter. Colm Tóibín

A true gift of a book. a sublime Chekhovian shock. Andrew O Hagan
