We believe time spent simply sitting, talking, and connecting with people; sharing a book, a story and discussing your favourite characters with little distraction increases our happiness and emotional health. Add a sauna, that’s where the magic happens.For December Chapter 34 presents Social Sauna Book Club with Claire Keegan’s ‘Small Things Like These’
It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him – and encounters the complicit silences of a small community controlled by the Church.
Claire Keegan’s tender tale of hope and quiet heroism is both a celebration of compassion and a stern rebuke of the sins committed in the name of religion.
Small Things Like These was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2022.
Books can be collected from Chapter 34 Book Shop in Shoreham By Sea or delivered to your door. Just email to let me know which option you’d prefer.
