A stunning new edition of Claire Keegan's multi-award-winning, bestselling novel Small Things Like These. Now a major motion picture starring Cillian Murphy. 

It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces into 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.

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2022.
