In the strangers' house, she finds a warmth and affection she has not known before and slowly begins to blossom in their care. But in a house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers how fragile her idyll is.--------Readers love Foster:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'To say this story is exceptional doesn't adequately describe it. If there were 10 stars to award this would deserve every one. Claire Keegan has a wonderful talent at storytelling.'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Foster is beautifully and confidently written, the prose is evocative, poignant and moving, with wonderfully atmospheric imagery ... Claire Keegan is an incredible storyteller.'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I've read books four times the length that didn't have near as much depth. There are so many layers to the writing and this is close to perfection.'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This is another literary diamond packed full of emotional charge, depth, poignancy and wonder. This novella is a thing of pure beauty and I urge you to read it!'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I rarely cry when reading a book but I wept ... Read it everyone. It will stay with you forever.'Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 6mmItem Weight: 112gAuthor: Claire KeeganGenre: FictionRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
