There’s a simpleness to the narration that doesn’t detract from how quaint and vivid the Irish landscape is, while also showcasing the quiet stillness of the narrator. This also neither diminishes her sweet naïveté nor the slight melancholic nature of her existence with the Kinsellas, impressively showing just how Keegan is a master of her craft.
A truly beautiful, powerful story, and wonderfully well-written.
