‘Bill Furlong is living a quiet, unglamorous life in Ireland. He has a happy life with his wife and five daughters. They have enough to eat and aren’t living on credit. The town has known hard times, factories are closing up, and people are being laid off. Mr. Furlong is making ends meet though, delivering fuel in the form of coals and logs to the townspeople. One day, near Christmas, he makes a delivery at the convent when he discovers something that doesn’t sit quite right with him. This story took hold of me early on. It is set in Ireland where times are hard, economic depression is settling in. Like so many small towns, people are struggling to get by, and people are being driven from their homes, heart wrenched, into the cities to find decent jobs. This book is a short read but will stay with you for so much longer.’ goodreads.com review”
