Summary of Book: It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.

“A sparse, breathtaking perfect gem of a novel.”—People

Books will be available at the circulation desk beginning of November 7. Susanne Sullivan will lead the discussion.
