Book review: Foster by Claire Keegan

Abstract

On one of the bank and public holidays afforded to us in Scotland in May I read the short story Foster by Claire Keegan. Not having read the acclaimed Small Things Like These, I was new to the work of this Irish writer and confess that I was simply in search of something to read on a spring afternoon sat outside having taken some much-needed time to myself.
