            Hi Cheryl,
            I really enjoyed listening to your talk with JP Pomare and although I have not yet read any of his novels, I am now intrigued to do so. I also heard you mention Claire Keegan during this interview who I have only just recently discovered. I have actually just finished reading Small Things Like These and wondering if this is the one you were referring to or could it be another? I am eager to read more of her books now.
