It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces into his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him—and encounters the complicit silences of a people controlled by the Church. The long-awaited new work from the author of Foster, Small Things Like These is an unforgettable story of hope, quiet heroism and tenderness.

A long-haired woman moves into the priest's house and sets fire to his furniture. That Christmas, the electricity goes out. A forester mortgages his land and goes off to a seaside town looking for a wife. He finds a woman eating alone in the hotel. A farmer wakes half-naked and realises the money is almost gone. And in the title story, a priest waits on the altar for a bride and battles, all that wedding day, with his memories of a love affair.

From the opening story about a married woman who takes a trip to the city with a single purpose in mind - to sleep with another man - Antarctica draws you into a world of obsession, betrayal and fragile relationships.

A small girl is sent to live with foster parents on a farm in rural Ireland, without knowing when she will return home.

And then a secret is revealed, and suddenly, she realises how fragile her idyll is.

Mit wenigen Worten erschafft Claire Keegan eine ganze Welt. Wer etwas auf sich hält in New Ross, County Wicklow, und es sich leisten kann, lässt seine Wäsche im Kloster waschen. Doch was sich dort hinter den glänzenden Fenstern und dicken Mauern ereignet, will in der Kleinstadt niemand so genau wissen. Denn es gibt Gerüchte. Dass es moralisch fragwürdige Mädchen sind, die zur Buße Schmutzflecken aus den Laken waschen. Dass sie von früh bis spät arbeiten müssen und daran zugrunde gehen. Dass ihre neugeborenen Babys ins Ausland verkauft werden.
