It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A girl is sent to live with foster parents on a farm, not knowing when she will return home. In the strangers' house, she finds a warmth and affection she has not known before and slowly begins to blossom in their care. But in a house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers how fragile her idyll is.

Readers love Foster:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'To say this story is exceptional doesn't adequately describe it. If there were 10 stars to award this would deserve every one. Claire Keegan has a wonderful talent at storytelling.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Foster is beautifully and confidently written, the prose is evocative, poignant and moving, with wonderfully atmospheric imagery ... Claire Keegan is an incredible storyteller.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I've read books four times the length that didn't have near as much depth. There are so many layers to the writing and this is close to perfection.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This is another literary diamond packed full of emotional charge, depth, poignancy and wonder. This novella is a thing of pure beauty and I urge you to read it!'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I rarely cry when reading a book but I wept ... Read it everyone. It will stay with you forever.'
