★《像這樣的小事》作家克萊爾．吉根 Claire Keegan 著
【男人與女人，愛與錯位】
在都柏林辦公室度過一個平淡無奇的星期五後，卡哈爾（Cathal）迎來了漫長的週末，搭上公車回家。然而，回到家後，他的思緒卻無法平靜，不斷縈繞著一位名叫莎賓（Sabine）的女子。如果當初他做出了不同的選擇，也許她本會成為與他共度一生的人。
整個夜晚，陪伴他的只有電視和一瓶香檳，但關於莎賓以及其他人的回憶卻不斷湧現，而這一天對他而言真正的重要意義，也隨之逐漸揭曉。
吉根透過 𝘚𝘰 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘺 探問人與人之間，尤其是男女之間，缺乏慷慨、體諒與付出的心，是否足以毀掉一段原本可能發展的關係？
After an uneventful Friday at the Dublin office, Cathal faces into the long weekend and takes the bus home. There, his mind agitates over a woman named Sabine with whom he might have spent his life, had he acted differently. All evening, with only the television and a bottle of champagne for company, thoughts of this woman and others intrude ― and the true significance of this particular date is revealed.
From one of the world’s great writers, So Late in the Day asks if a lack of generosity might ruin what could be between men and women.
