"Foster" by Claire Keegan makes a strong impact with its concise yet compelling narrative. The story of a young girl arriving at a farm in Ireland to live with foster parents captivates from beginning to end. The warmth and affection she experiences in this unfamiliar home allow her to blossom, but suddenly, a secret threatens her assumed idyll. Grateful for the recommendation from Sina from the Circe Book Club, the book proved to be a worthwhile discovery. The only desire is that the story could have delved even deeper, providing more space to explore its narrative intricacies.
