Event Details
It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant and devoted family man, faces his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him – and encounters the complicit silences of a people controlled by the Church. This short novel by Claire Keegan is a deeply affecting story of hope, quiet heroism, and empathy.
