If you’re looking for a story of hope, heroism, and empathy, pick up Small Things Like These. A historical fiction story taking place in 1985 in a small Irish town, this book follows a man during his busiest season making a discovery while delivering an order to the local convent that makes him have to confront hard truths both about his past and the effects of a town’s silence as controlled by the church. Fun Fact: This is the shortest book to ever be considered at just 116 pages!
Treacle Walker by Alan Garner
While Small Things Like These is shorter page-wise, Treacle Walker has a smaller word count! Plus, Alan Garner is the oldest author to ever be shortlisted (he will be 88 the night the winner is announced). This book reads like a fable, following Joe Coppock, a young boy who encounters Treacle Walker, a wanderer/healer, and an unlikely friendship is formed. Playful and moving, this is a stunning addition to the shortlist.
