A short novella written so beautifully, I’m ensured to be a reader of Claire Keegan’s other works. 

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.

I've been in the mood for a lot of quick short books, and I just happened to find this. I felt very nostalgic reading this, mostly because my childhood was a little similar to this. I liked it!

Tämä pieni kirja osuu sydämeen ja herättää tunteita. Miten Claire Keegan onnistuukin luomaan vain 83 sivulla näin kauniin ja tunnelmallisen tarinan. 

Nopealukuinen tarina vie mukanaan heti ensimmäisestä sivusta asti. Iso suositus Kasvatille.
