An international bestseller and one of The Times’ “Top 50 Novels Published in the 21st Century,” Claire Keegan’s piercing contemporary classic Foster is a heartbreaking story of childhood, loss, and love; now released as a standalone book for the first time ever in the US
It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas’ house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in their care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household—where everything is so well tended to—and this summer must soon come to an end.
Winner of the prestigious Davy Byrnes Award and published in an abridged version in the New Yorker, this internationally bestselling contemporary classic is now available for the first time in the US in a full, standalone edition. A story of astonishing emotional depth, Foster showcases Claire Keegan’s great talent and secures her reputation as one of our most important storytellers.

Heartwarming
Too short
Waaaaaay too short…
I honestly had to force myself to finish this book
The only reason that I forced myself to read this is because I already bought it, I should’ve read the sample first and then decide if I wanted to read it or not.
I’ve heard a lot of hype about this book from various people and YouTubers, so I decided to trust their judgement and not read the sample, that was a mistake.
I might be the unpopular opinion here because there are lots of people who love this book. Just be aware that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea as I’ve found this book to be mediocre at best.
If you’re considering it then read the sample first and then decide on what to do, don’t make the same mistake as me.
