Program Description

Event Details

This month we'll be discussing Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan.

In a small Irish town in 1985, coal merchant and family man, Bill Furlong, delivers an order to the local convent. There, he makes a discovery that forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.
