Claire Keegan
Fiction 2021 | 118 pages
Sometimes a man works hard at his job and provides for his family (five daughters, one wife!) whom he loves. And these two endeavors sometimes become not enough. Bill Furlong reaches that stage, though I am unsure he recognizes it. Instead he feels a bit out of sorts, restless, a bit of a wanderer. But by the end of this novella, he finds what is calling him and what he needs to feed his soul and set him upon his next path.
Another beautiful Claire Keegan discovery of a character, who she makes so very real for us with superb writing.

Just checked the library’s online catalog and pleased to see they have almost all of her works. “Foster” is on hold me.
