I loved Foster so much. It's a perfect story. Small Things Like These is on my to read list.
I haven't read much Ross Gay, but what I have I thoroughly enjoyed. So exuberant and life-giving. I should return to him again.
Every time I read A Canticle for Leibowitz, I fall more deeply in love.
You might enjoy The Corner That Held Them by Sylvia Townsend Warner, a historical novel about a Medieval English monastery. It's a quiet and haunting book. Also In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden.
I literally just finished "Small Things Like These" last night! Then started it over.
That is exactly what I did! And then almost immediately started reading Foster. I don’t know how to put into words what her stories do to me.
I keep hearing wonderful things about Keegan. I need to put her work on my TBR now, it seems!
Read her, and then let's talk: a Claire Keegan/Ross Gay fan club book club. :)
Yes!

We have much in common as readers, and I love that.
I’m planning a reread of Small Things Like These this Advent season. To me, it is even more perfect than Foster.
In This House of Brede is a favorite.
And I haven’t heard of the book you recommend. I will get my hands on it asap! Thank you!
What is it about books about monasteries??
