”Gnistrande i höstens mörker.” VK
"Efter Det tredje ljuset är jag närmast ovillig att ta mig an Små ting som dessa, eftersom jag tvivlar på att en upprepning av något så helgjutet ens är möjligt." Vi
En liten flicka skickas till fosterföräldrar utan att veta när hon kommer att återvända. I främlingarnas hus får hon för första gången uppleva vad trygghet och kärlek är. Det tredje ljuset räknas i dag som en en modern klassiker på Irland.
Bill Furlong beger sig en tidig morgon, strax innan jul, till klostret utanför staden för att leverera kol, men innan dagen är slut har han konfronterat mörkret och tystnaden i en stad som kontrolleras av kyrkan. Små ting som dessa är den fristående uppföljare vi väntat på i elva år.
