"Many's the man lost much just because he missed the opportunity to say nothing."

An innocent young child discovers a new way of life when she is dropped off to stay with an unfamiliar couple. (perhaps relatives)

Set in rural Ireland on a farm in Wexford, the author gives just enough information to keep the reader guessing as we follow the daily life of the Kinsellas and a little girl in a house with no secrets....save one.

An emotional little gem of a read by Claire Keegan.

A somewhat strange, but touching read Zoey. Only 88 pages. :-)
