My introduction to Keegan was reading Small Things like These. She can stun you with the clarity of her writing. Not for her lengthy, flowery descriptions but place and characters are carefully drawn. In this novella the narrative takes place over one day. A man, Cathal, reflects on a relationship, time shared and what might have been. The reveal at the end is perfect but awful.
