Have a listen to this interview with Claire Keegan where she talks about some of her favourite songs as they relate to her life, on Irish radio. Absolutely fascinating woman.

I loved this book. As much as I can love something that unsettled me so. Agree with your assessment of the exchange between Bill and the Mother Superior. It is a great piece of writing (when bill places his feet up on the grate!) and certainly was weakened in film adaptation.
