Fable House Books

Foster by Claire Keegan has found its way to the top of Shauna's picks for this month.

"I was delighted and gutted by this tiny novel with a massive punch.

Set in the Irish countryside in the 1980s, a family with many children and little means sends one of their daughters to live with distant relatives for a summer.

In this new home, she is the only child at the table, and there is attention, food, and time to spare. Secrets surface, and the girl wonders if she will ever return home... and whether she wants to.

Touching and poignant, Claire Keegan says more with 88 pages than some authors do in 500. I'm still turning over the last line and all the meaning that Claire Keegan stuffed into this tiny story... It will likely become an annual reread, and I can't wait to dive into her other works! You can expect more works by Keegan to land on our shelves soon."
