Social Sauna Book Club - Nomadic Shoreham
We believe time spent simply sitting, talking, and connecting with people; sharing a book, a story and discussing your favourite characters with little distraction increases our happiness and emotional health. Add a sauna, that’s where the magic happens.
It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him – and encounters the complicit silences of a small community controlled by the Church.
Claire Keegan’s tender tale of hope and quiet heroism is both a celebration of compassion and a stern rebuke of the sins committed in the name of religion.
Small Things Like These was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2022.
