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.

    Hauntingly beautiful. Loved it. One of the most touching endings I’ve read, I wanted more, and yet I didnt.

    Poetic

    A beautifully crafted, deceptively simple story of love and family, which is absolutely gorgeously narrated.

    Gorgeous novella

    Foster really surprised me. I picked it because it was short—I figured if my mind wandered (I’m not used to the Irish accent), I could just listen again. And honestly, I ended up enjoying that process. Aoife McMahon’s narration is gentle and soothing, and it fits the tone of the story so well.

    This book reminded me that not every great story needs to be long. There’s something really moving about its quiet simplicity. The themes are deep and a bit tragic, but that only makes the tender moments feel even more special. The ending really stayed with me—it’s a quiet, powerful moment where a child recognizes love, just as she’s about to lose it.

    If you're looking for something short but meaningful, this one's worth a listen.
