** The film adaptation, An Cailín Ciúin / The Quiet Girl
I recently read this book and I cannot stop thinking about it - it’s one of those…It’s a short book so you could finish it in a day but the story will stay with you forever. I recommend it so much. You’ll be transported to the Irish countryside, many years ago. I love the writing of this author, a new favorite for sure. ~ Katharine
‘A small girl is sent to live with foster parents on a farm in rural Ireland, without knowing when she will return home. In the strangers' house, she finds a warmth and affection she has not known before and slowly begins to blossom in their care. And then a secret is revealed and suddenly, she realizes how fragile her idyll is. Winner of the Davy Byrnes Memorial Prize, "Foster" is now published in a revised and expanded version. Beautiful, sad and eerie, it is a story of astonishing emotional depth, showcasing Claire Keegan's great accomplishment and talent.’
