One of the interesting things was that the lady who kept Bills mother employed and allowed her to raise her child in her house, was wealthy, and importantly, Protestant. Her money and her religion meant that the Catholic Church didn’t have much power over her. Bill on the other hand doesn’t have that advantage. He has his own business but it is something that can be affected by a powerful hand, something the woman in the restaurant warns him. As can the education of his daughters. So when people compare it to Its a Wonderful Life I just don’t think they realise the consequences of his actions. It’s hard to get across how powerful the church was in Ireland, and the reach it had. The book ends on a hopeful note, but realistically his life could be about to be ruined. It’s definitely a book that leaves you angry. Because, while it’s fiction, it’s very much based in things that happened.
Wholeheartedly agree. This was one of the saddest and also one of the most hopeful novels I've ever read. Humanity and kindness should be the at the very heart of religion and yet reality shows us that it is often a very different story. "Foster" is another fantastic work of hers, and there will be a new novella out later this year.
Excellent review of a beautiful book. And the dialogue - I love how, even when expressing opinions, the characters often put their thoughts to each other in the form of a question.
This book is absolutely heartbreaking, but also very hopeful. And Bill... I mean, such a beautiful soul! Kind and benevolent, which is no less important. Beautiful. Beautiful!
I recently came about Claire Keegan's books, too and after reading "Small things like these" and "Foster", I really have to read every word she writes. Such a fantastic author! I loved the conversation between Bill and the Reverend Mother(?) where she states that he must be devastated because he has no son, only daughters. It may not be one of the key scenes of the book, but I really loved Bill's reply.
Yesssss! He mentions his own mother, and I do think the fact that he was a man raised by women, with several daughters, has humbled him and made him more considerate as a person
Nothing wholesome. It’s dark as hell if hopeful in the sense that it shows that there are individuals willing to take on power at great risk to themselves. Nothing remotely like It’s a Wonderful Life. Thanks for the great review.
I just discovered Claire Keegan about a week ago, and I've already devoured Small Things Like These and Foster. I love her compact storytelling and efficiency with words. She can dig deep in about 118 pages while it takes other writers 300 pages to say the same thing in a less impactful way. I'm glad you're back on Goodreads!
I listened to the audiobook of this last Christmas and the voice actor did such an amazing job. Agreed on this being a great book in the Irish literary tradition.
this is the only review of this book which has ever really sparked in me the want to read it... ur passion for the books u love is so infectious! i really appreciate how deeply and thoughtfully you discuss the themes of ur recommendations without giving too much away.
Enjoyed your review. As a non-goodreads user, I'm really surprised to hear anyone saw this as a happy or twee story. Our last 20 years in Ireland has been an ongoing reckoning with our past. For an Irish person, when you imagine what happens to Bill after the novel's final page is inevidently bad. But i can now see how someone not seeped in that local knowledge could see this as a traditional hero's story where Bill has now saved the day. Very interesting to see it through a different prism
started watching, paused it, ordered the book from the library. I know you said that you wouldn't get in to spoilers but truuuust that I will be back to finish this vid when I'm done with the book. been eyeing this author for a while, now I can't wait to read it- you always give the best recs
I appreciate this video because I have to read this for a college literature class and I can't focus very well so this helped prime the content before I tried to read again.
Don't often comment on reviews but you nailed it, perfect review, I was brought up Roman Catholic and totally agree with your sentiments and a beautiful book
It was such a beautiful story. It really took my by surprise how moved I felt by it. And it brought to my attention a part of history I'm afraid I wasn't very familiar with. I really enjoyed Foster, but Small Things Like These was STUNNNING.
Happy to see someone talk about the actual point of this. Being a good person versus being a good "Christian". After reading this, I had to read Keegan's "Foster" as well. It is also brilliant. I have heard her compared to Chekhov, and I think that comparison is more than earned.
Only just found you! What a superb find! Spot on with your critique I’m 100% with you on everything you said. I’m currently reading Antarctica. I saw The Quiet Girl - a movie - do watch it. Made from Claire’s book Foster. Incredible book AND film. Enjoy!
Goodness me, how could anyone find this like A Wonderful Life? The mother superior in this is one of the most horrifying characters I have read. Devoid of empathy and quietly threatening.
Thanks for your brilliant and passionate review. Just finished the book and loved it. My first claire keegan too, what a clever writer, distlling so much wonderment into such a short book...no waffle. Another exquisite irish book I've just read is The Colony by Audrey Magee.
I have a good read account but I don’t have a reading challenge I don’t like to feel rushed or feel like I’m competing with anyone. I love this review I think every-time you review a book I go and buy it 😬
Funny that you mention readers missing the mark, and yet have a positive impression of it. It happened to me when i read Happy Hour from Marlowe Granados. Most people thought it was a really happy, wholesome book, while i thought it was absolutely devastating. This book is about a young woman who is poor but not let that get in her way to have fun. Because she thinks life owns her that. The devastating parts are easy to overlook if you don't know what to look out for. They appear in half sentences and certain expressions which are like codes for people who grew up poor, like myself. Maybe because reading is such a middle upper class thing, they actually don't know what these statements mean. Sorry that i ranted about another book, i very much liked what you said about organized religion. Pardon my french, not a native speaker here.
Your review tells me this is a book with a message that needs sharing. That organized religions have done so much harm. Too many of us spend our adulthoods recovering from our childhoods surviving under the madness of religious dogma. Thanks for pointing out this unmentioned aspect of this novel that puts it above churches. I'm buying it right away.
Loved loved loved this book. The ‘church’ has a lot to answer for, I can’t even go there..🤯 BTW I believe the book is being made into a movie with Cillian Murphy as the MC.
The film has been made already. It came out at the Berlin film festival. Emily Watson won best supporting actress playing the mother superior and it stars Cillian Murphy as Bill. There's a clip on TH-cam
I agree. It is not twee at all. It is not even all that warm and fuzzy, if you sink into the undercurrents. I'd recommend Foster by Claire Keegan as well.
I find Claire Keegan's writing to have such a heavy air, like the world itself in which the characters are living is sombre and grieving. Really loved everything I've read by her so far
I am much older than you, and am not into fantasy, sci-fi, etc-but I do like you, the way you ad-lib so well, your spirit & soul. I have been a fan I think since very early in your book tube career. I just wanted to let you know…nacho
Just read the book and it’s going to be a discussion at my bookclub. Thank you for your honest review. Have many friends that I know won’t like the discussion but too bad. I will also be reading her other books. By the way this is going to be a movie. Coming out soon with Cillian Murphy. Perfect casting
The fact that it’s at Christmas it’s important but not because it’s a Christmas story. It’s that juxtaposition of the real Christmas story against what the town and church are doing. There’s the long drawn out scene about the nativity and the scene at the end with the girl pausing in front of it outside the church and exclaiming isn’t he wonderful (the donkey). This book being set at Christmas reminds me of the churches who made nativities portraying refugees. The beauty of the Christmas story is that in the middle of the night, in the middle of the cold, in the middle of poverty, a light breaks through. A quiet promise that things could get better for suffering people. THAT IS THE message of the Christmas story. The book spends a lot of toke showing us how ordinary people replicate these small bits of light into the darkness. Most notably, Ms. Wilson and Ned and finally, Bill. My favourite like in the book…. This road will take you anywhere you want to go…..
You had me at “condemns organized religion”. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on some books about the horrors of the church-run residential schools in Canada. Five Little Indians by Michelle Good is a good one.
as someone who studying this book for their exam, while i believe the messages of the book are amazing when studied, im still really unsatisfied the massive cliffhanger at the end. I wish we got to see more of the ordeals that happen after Bill and Sarah arrive at his front door even just seeing what Bill's wife says about the fact he's saved her from the convents awful treatment. Thats by far my biggest criticism of the book. My only other major criticism is even tho the convents awful doings are a big portion of the second half of the book, we still dont know all that much about the full extent of the mistreatment and workings of the convent along with the nuns. Overall all, amazing review and I do agree, these are just my 2 cents on the book besides what you have already said
Wonderful review! As someone who practices within an organized religion, I would say that blanket statements about "organized religion" or "the church" are simplistic at best, especially today. I think most people within established religions are rethinking the orthodoxy of their church. It seems, from your review, this book points out the hypocrisy that needs to stop in any religion. Many of us believe that the only way to rehabilitate any church is from the inside. For example, the Catholic Church presently has a pope that is public about his effort to rethink ancient Catholic practices and has publicly stated that there are many pathways to the same creator. Though this has caused him to be a less than popular pope, it does reveal how many people are looking for that change. Organized religion isn't evil but the people who practice it can be and, if the institution supports that evil, it puts a stain on the whole thing. I hope that 200 years from now this kind of book doesn't have to be published except as a historical fiction novel. Unfortunately, today, this book is part of a needed outcry to all who practice any religion to think deeply about whether or not their beliefs and their actions agree. Love your channel! Thanks for another great review!
I'm glad you decided to review this, otherwise I may have decided to never read it. 😅 Anyway, thanks to your wonderful self, I just placed a hold for the audiobook on the Libby app.
I read this book because Jack Edwards recommended it, and i didn't get why he thought it was so good. Of course I don't have the same comprehensive skills, and English is my second language. But hearing your analysis makes me want to read it again and I know i'll appreciate it more. Thank you so much for this video. Btw, i really enjoy your videos! Especially the ones where you talked about Frankenstein, Bunny, Klara and the sun, Our wives under the sea, this is how you lose the time war and never let me go. Also, have you read Sirens and Muses by Antonia Angress? If so, what do you think about it? Love from Colombia!
Probably the best new fiction of the past two years. I would disagree slightly about Bill's wife as she's steeped in the mainstream and having 5 kids to look after is probably trying. Of course this all comes to a head on Christmas Eve. I think the chapter where he meets the girl and has that conversation with the head nun is so reminiscent of an iceberg - on the surface the negotiated differences between reality and what powerful people want you to see as reality through banal discourse when you know full well that behind the scenes (underneath the water) they are scurrying around trying to get the story in alignment, making veiled threats about one of his daughters outside school activities and buying him off with money and drink. Aside from that it is so superbly written I think the style is as good as Heart of Darkness. So you have the writing, the evocation of Christmas (how the novel is `dark` in terms of colour set off by the Christmas lights is quite `hygge`) while the politics of it could be described at once as `proper Christian` and `socially conscious`. One to read in a few days ending on Christmas Eve.
Bill is the true embodiment of what Christianity should be in complete contrast with the nuns and priests and m at if the townspeople who turn a blind eye to the atrocities taking place under their nose . A very poignant story for the times . A beautiful full circle of life .
I read this in January and yes i was honestly very impressed by the storytelling, the subtle pace and the way it wraps up at the end. But you know i kinda feel guilty because ive seen so many people be really blown away by it and i cant completely relate, and now after watching your review im thinking if the reason is cultural? Like i was barely aware about christianity growing up and now all these social dynamics and injustices being discussed ofcourse invoke my empathy but somehow im not able to connect to the depth of it?
I don’t think you should feel guilty about that. I’ve had commenters tell me they couldn’t finish a book because it was too heavy or painful, while I happily finished the book. I could tell that it was very good and judge its artistic merit, but I wasn’t struck by it like many people were. These things happen :)
There are many people who are good catholics but not good Christians and in this case they were neither at that convent and I think there is a lot of evidence of abuse in the catholic church, but not in all churches. Bill (and others in the book, but not those in this convent) displayed good (Christian) values by being forgiving, kind, loving, forgiving, and didn't have to conform but did good anyway-did the right things. So please don't confuse all "churches" or "Christianity" with Catholocism. And I agree you don't have to be a church-goer or believer to be a good person.
I also don’t like the hypocrisy of organised religion and I went to a Catholic school in my younger days. My family is of another religion but we weren’t big on religion.
One of the interesting things was that the lady who kept Bills mother employed and allowed her to raise her child in her house, was wealthy, and importantly, Protestant. Her money and her religion meant that the Catholic Church didn’t have much power over her. Bill on the other hand doesn’t have that advantage. He has his own business but it is something that can be affected by a powerful hand, something the woman in the restaurant warns him. As can the education of his daughters.
So when people compare it to Its a Wonderful Life I just don’t think they realise the consequences of his actions. It’s hard to get across how powerful the church was in Ireland, and the reach it had. The book ends on a hopeful note, but realistically his life could be about to be ruined. It’s definitely a book that leaves you angry. Because, while it’s fiction, it’s very much based in things that happened.
They're still sleeping
But i suppose trying to wake up..
Wholeheartedly agree. This was one of the saddest and also one of the most hopeful novels I've ever read. Humanity and kindness should be the at the very heart of religion and yet reality shows us that it is often a very different story. "Foster" is another fantastic work of hers, and there will be a new novella out later this year.

I love this small book. After watching your review now, I feel like reading it again.
Please check out the film version of her wonderful book Foster. It's called The Quiet girl and it's a remarkable film mainly told in Gaelic.

Fantastic book! I've read all of her books and my favourite is still Foster. I love that book. Have you read that one too?
Not yet! This was my first of hers and I’m going to read everything else asap
Excellent review and I second the recommendation for Foster. Also a small masterpiece.

Loved this book….. really good review!! ❤
I loved the book. And I will be reading more!
Reminds me of Assisi by the Scottish poet Norman McCaig

Your voice caught off guard 😂😂😂 ahh gays everywhere you look like a girl i knew and she was very funny one
What a screed about organized religion. Methinks She protests too much. She doesn';t know Jack S... about religion. Sounds like a bigot to me.
