Small Things Like These

Small Things Like These blew my mind with what Claire Keegan can achieve in just 95 pages—it's the shortest book on my list but packs the emotion of a 1,000-page epic. We're following a family man in a small Irish town who delivers coal and makes a discovery at the local church that forces him to confront his past and future. It's a lovely, heartfelt book that I recommend to everybody; Keegan's writing is incredible, and I've also loved her other work Foster, which is becoming a movie with Cillian Murphy. Read it before the film comes out because it's something special.
