Small Things Like These

The year is 1985, Bill Furlong runs a coal business in a small Irish town still steered by the Catholic Church when he stumbles into the convent’s dark corners. Old bones and forgotten paperwork drag up questions about complicity and what Bill’s own childhood might have meant. A quietly devastating answer arrives in the coal sack—one that forces him to deliver small things that weigh more than coal.
