Small Things Like These Audiobook in a Card

Claire Keegan’s Small Things Like These, shortlisted for the Booker Prize and winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction, is now available as an Audiobook in a Card.

About the book: 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.

Quietly profound and deeply humane, Small Things Like These Keegan captures the weight of silence and the cost of compassion in a community shaped by fear and faith. Short but powerful, it’s a story that stays with you long after it ends.

Narrated by actor Aiden Kelly, this full-length audiobook (2 hours) is the perfect gift for fans of powerful contemporary fiction.
