I love it when a short story can pack such a fucking punch!!

This book really reminded me of Anne of Green Gables. Claire Keegan is a master at evoking deeply tender emotions while allowing readers the space to draw their own conclusions about what is left unsaid. This is a great story, and my favorite scene is the one that takes place at the sea. So heartwarming.
