Foster Overview

A coming-of-age tale set in the naturalistic and beautiful backwoods of rural Ireland, Foster by Claire Keegan is a novella detailing the first-person travails of a roughly ten-year-old child staying with two friends of the family for a summer. Along the way, she confronts a way of living dissimilar from the one she is used to. Keegan tackles themes such as the loneliness of childhood, poverty, and trauma using unshowy and breezy – yet still deeply poetic – language.
