Small Things Like These

Set in a small Irish town during the weeks leading up to Christmas, Small Things Like These follows Bill Furlong, a coal merchant whose daily routines quietly intersect with moments of moral reckoning. As he uncovers an uncomfortable truth in his community, Bill must decide whether to look away—or to act with compassion, even when doing so comes at a personal cost.

Claire Keegan’s prose is spare and luminous, allowing the silences and small gestures to speak volumes. This is a story about conscience, courage, and the quiet power of decency. Perfect for readers who savor thoughtful, beautifully written fiction—and for heartfelt gifting that invites reflection long after the final page.
