Small Things Like These

A reminder that small things add up to big things. But also that small things can be the most difficult. This is a slim (i.e. small) book about the Magdalen laundries in Ireland, but, really, Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan is a stunning meditation about the small things that “when added up, amount to a life.”

{If you’d like to make a dent in the Booker longlist, start with this one because it’s only 114 small pages. And it’s practically perfect in every way.}
