Keegan's prose is sharp and evocative, drawing us into the world of Bill Furlong, a seemingly ordinary man caught in an extraordinary moral dilemma.
Set in 1980s Ireland, "Small Things Like These" is a deceptively short novel that packs a powerful punch. It explores the profound consequences of silence and inaction in the face of injustice.
Keegan's masterful storytelling leaves a lasting impression. I'm looking forward to read more from her.
