A master of quietly brutal storytelling, Keegan had a lot to say about the imbalance within male/female relationships and how misogyny can ruin human connection.
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Infidelity, Misogyny, Sexism, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, and Gaslighting
Moderate: Confinement, Cursing, Grief, and Alcohol
Minor: Cancer and Religious bigotry
Be aware that it deals with broken relationships, broken engagements, ageism directed at women, and held captive against your own will.frances_frances's review against another edition

These stories were less compelling to me than Foster and Small Things Like These. But I love Claire Keegan's writing so much and will gladly read anything she writes.
Moderate: Confinement
Minor: Misogyny and Sexual violence
