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.

The long-awaited new work from the author of Foster , Small Things Like These is an unforgettable story of hope, quiet heroism and tenderness.

이것도 잔잔하고 감동적인 이야기로 유명하더라구요? 이 작가님도 엄청 유명하더라구요? 궁금해서 읽어보려고 사봤어용!

이처럼 사소한 것들 영문 도서에요. 아일랜드 작가라서 호기심이 생겨 읽게 됐어요. 워낙 유명하고, 인기있는 도서라 읽어보기를 추천하는 책이에요. 곧 영화로도 제작된다고해요.
