So Late In The Day (novella)
So Late In The Day (novella) | Claire Keegan
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
After an uneventful Friday at the Dublin office, Cathal faces into the long weekend and takes the bus home. There, his mind agitates over a woman named Sabine with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently. All evening, with only the television and a bottle of champagne for company, thoughts of this woman and others intrude - and the true significance of this particular date is revealed.
From one of the finest writers working today, Keegan's new story asks if a lack of generosity might ruin what could be between men and women.

I decided to drop two of my book clubs...

I'm a member of too many book clubs, and I tried to push myself to only read the books I found interesting, but it just doesn't work for me, and I end up trying to read them anyway, and then I get overwhelmed.

So here are the books I plan on reading next. Only one is a book club pick, which I happened to choose, haha.

I want my reading to be more fun for me ;)

nanuska_153 This was me two years ago, I kind of miss some of them but I'm happy I gave myself the space to just read what I want. Still belong to two book clubs, but one of them is just a set of prompts when each month we all read a book from our own choice of the category and it's just a fun way of discussing books 3d
JulietteReadsALot @nanuska_153 It definitely sounds like a fun book club 😃 I meet with fellow readers each month to talk about the different books we've read (so no assignment), it's a diverse group, and a fun way to hear about books. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. 3d

My first read of the year was this thought-provoking short.

Kimzey I picked this up when I traveled to Ireland a few months ago. Looking forward to reading it! 4mo
TheEllieMo @Kimzey as with, I think, all of Keegan‘s work, it‘s short but gives a lot to think about. 4mo

It‘s a dull wet day here, so reading in front of the fire is the order of the day!

First published as part of a collection of three short stories under the name So Late in the Day, this little hardback contains just the title story. Keegan can pack so much into a few words, and this certainly makes one ponder about relationships, generosity, humour and misogyny.
