Book Club

Join the Cross of Life book club on Tuesday, December 16 at 6:30 pm (online) to discuss Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. Please note that this is a time and location change from other book club gatherings. The group will meet off site at the home of the club leader but there will first be a short discussion of the book on Zoom for people who cannot attend in person.

From Amazon:

It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.

An international bestseller, Small Things Like These is a deeply affecting story of hope, quiet heroism, and empathy from one of our most critically lauded and iconic writers.
