Foster by Claire Keegan
fast-paced
5.0
YEAHHHHHHHHHH. I finally get Ms. Keegan. I understand her. i want to be her. dare i say... i love her?? nooo that would be too much... unless?? jkjkjk
this story is quiet. it is understated. the story happens between the lines, just like the characters interact without speaking. there is so much left unsaid, yet you are blown away by the insight that is. the gaps almost make it more insightful. the ending??? breaks my heart. there were so many lines were my heart was ripped out of my chests and STOMPED on. she is just a child who wants to feel love. aren't we all. aHHHHHH Claire Keegan. darn you!!! how could you change my life forever.
p.s. i wrote my final english essay on irish fatherhood and masculinity in the 1980s and from that, i found my new favourite phrase "The Troubles". I am forever in debt to this book for introducing this to my vernacular so I can use it to be so very dramatic.
