Foster by Claire Keegan
Google Summary:
Foster is a novella by Claire Keegan about an unnamed young girl sent to live with a foster family in rural Ireland for the summer, where she experiences unexpected warmth and affection, blossoming under their care until she realizes the temporary nature of her idyllic new life, which is threatened by her impending return home. The story, set in 1981, is praised for its simple yet powerful prose, emotional depth, and exploration of love, neglect, and the profound impact of kindness, contrasting the girl's chaotic home life with the quiet stability of the Kinsellas' farm.
