Small Things Like These

by Claire Keegan

Always it was the same, Furlong thought; always they carried mechanically on without pause, to the next job at hand. What would life be like, he wondered, if they were given time to think and reflect over things? Might their lives be different or much the same – or would they just lose the run of themselves?

While there were some good quotes, I caught myself wondering if I missed something in the first few chapters as you just jump straight into the plot. I may reread it to see what I missed for all these 5 stars, but honestly wasn’t impressed.
