This is book #1 I finished in 2026!
HAHA it's a bit of a cheat because turns out, this is a novelette with 'only' 47 pages.
That's super easy for me to finish in 1 day.
The story was quite unexpected. It follows a simple narration from the point of view of Cathal.
We learn more about him as we progress through the book.
I agree with the commendations.
In each paragraphs, Claire Keegan crafted a rich narrative.
I won't spoil too much, so SKIP THIS if you don't want spoilers,
but to my future self as I try to remember this book, I will say:
I've been thinking about 'unreliable narrator' and what a timing I come across this book.
And to be honest, as I was reading, I keep trying to find the meaning of the title.
It wasn't a turn of phrase I commonly use, so I was wondering if I should Google it to understand it...
Turns out - & what made the book so impactful for me - it will be revealed at the very end.
AH! Masterful!
The only thing I have to say about this is - I bought it at a very expensive price. The same price as a 200-page book. So that set a different expectation at first - I didn't even expect the 'book' to be that short.
But what a 47-page experience. Would recommend for a quick recharge.
Book #1 - done!
