Join the Sandy Mush Community Center Book Club as we discuss Claire Keegan's powerful novella "Small Things Like These."Set in a small Irish town, this poignant story follows coal merchant Bill Furlong as he faces a moral crisis during the Christmas season. When he discovers a young girl locked in a coal shed at a local convent, he must decide whether to speak out against powerful institutions or remain silent.
At just 128 pages, this masterful novella explores themes that resonate deeply with our Sandy Mush community:
- The delicate balance of maintaining harmony while confronting difficult truths
- How ordinary people can make extraordinary differences through seemingly small actions
- The challenges rural communities face when navigating traditions and established systems
New members are always welcome! Books are available through the Buncombe County Library system or your favorite bookseller.
