An international bestseller and one of the Times's "Top 50 Novels Published in the 21st Century," Claire Keegan's piercing contemporary classic Foster is a heartbreaking story of childhood, loss, and love; now released as a standalone book for the first time ever in the US

It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas' house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in their care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household—where everything is so well tended to—and this summer must soon come to an end.

Winner of the prestigious Davy Byrnes Award and published in an abridged version in the New Yorker, this internationally bestselling contemporary classic is now available for the first time in the US in a full, standalone edition. A story of astonishing emotional depth, Foster showcases Claire Keegan's great talent and secures her reputation as one of our most important storytellers.

Claire Keegan writes with spare use of language. It’s poetic and full of meaning. A story of an ordinary girl taken to live with another family. There she finds acceptance, caring and love. It’s a first in her young life. Anyone reading this story would identify back to childhood, remembering when they were crushed by an uncaring, cutting remark; or being lifted up by a smile of love. Lovely story full of life how it’s actually lived. Keegan is a marvelous writer.
