Claire Keegan is an incredible storyteller.''⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''I''ve read books four times the length that didn''t have near as much depth. There are so many layers to the writing and this is close to perfection.''⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''This is another literary diamond packed full of emotional charge, depth, poignancy and wonder. This novella is a thing of pure beauty and I urge you to read it!''⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''I rarely cry when reading a book but I wept ... Read it everyone. It will stay with you forever.''
