The HP Book Club will meet on Friday, December 12 at 2:30 p.m. in the Activity Center to discuss Small Things Like These by Claire Kegan. This novella, dedicated by the author to “the women and children who suffered time in Ireland’s Magdalen Laundries,” is a quiet exploration of hope, empathy, and moral courage. In it, a coal merchant, while making a delivery to a local church, makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church. One reviewer described the book as “deftly told, succinct, and consuming.” Carol Roden will lead the discussion.
Club meetings are open to all residents who read the book. If you wish to be added to the HP Book Club mailing list, please email me.
