So Late in the Day and other reads • Episode #151

Irish author Claire Keegan is generally considered to be one of the finest writers working today. 'Every word is the right word in the right place, and the effect is resonant and deeply moving' said Hilary Mantel, of her work, while for Colm Toiíbín 'Claire Keegan makes her moments real – and then she makes them matter.' Praise indeed, but what did our brand new podcast book club make of So Late in the Day, her most recently published short story? We'll be reporting back.
