Really enjoyed the Irish voice for the audiobook and the last chapters were really good, it’s just this type of light story isn’t for me.
This short story completely surprised and captivated me. Keegan is a master at creating powerful visuals, messages, and characters with minimal words. In just 92 pages you know these characters and grow to love some of them. What's it about? For me, it was all about acceptance, value, respect, love and the lack or loss of them. There is occasional humor along with loads of wisdom.

"Many the man lost much just because he missed a perfect opportunity to say nothing."
A beautiful, touching story.
