In this episode of Soul of the Words by Abhya, we dive into Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. Set in 1980s Ireland, this historical fiction novella may be short—just 70 pages—but its story is deeply impactful. Follow Bill Furlong, a coal supplier, as he navigates moral dilemmas, haunting secrets inside a convent, and the weight of doing the right thing even when it’s not easy. With poetic writing, stunning metaphors, and profound reflections on kindness and bravery, this book leaves a mark long after you turn the final page. Tune in to hear my thoughts, reflections, and why I rated it 4 out of 5 stars. If you love historical fiction, emotional storytelling, and thought-provoking reads, this episode is for you.
