ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan is a poignant novella set in a small Irish town during the 1980s. The story follows Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, as he navigates his daily life with his wife and five daughters. However, his peaceful world is disrupted when he encounters a young girl in distress and uncovers disturbing secrets about the convent that houses troubled girls. The book explores themes of personal responsibility, morality, and social injustice, as Furlong faces a moral dilemma between remaining silent or confronting the powerful institution behind the suffering.
