Claire Keegan is an amazing writer. As usual, her simplistic prose is gorgeous and she deeply understands her characters. The only reason this is a 4.5 instead of a 5 is because Antarctica, the last story in this collection, just slightly falls below the high standards Keegan has set for herself

Fantastic early atmospheric horror with rich descriptions of the Danube river (and the willows). For all the suspense and buildup, the climax was a little lackluster, but the final line of the book more than makes up for it.
