Киган Клэр: Foster

It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas' house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in there care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household - where everything is so well tended to - and the summer must come to an end.

** Adapted into the Oscar-nominated film adaptation, An Cailín Ciúin / The Quiet Girl **

From the author of the Booker-shortlisted Small Things Like These, a heartbreaking, haunting story of childhood, loss and love by one of Ireland's most acclaimed writers.
