Synopsis

Claire Keegan’s So Late in the Day is a triptych of stories investigating the friction between men and women. The collection explores how ingrained misogyny, missed connections, and the weight of small choices define domestic life. Keegan uses a minimalist lens to examine the quiet, often devastating ways people fail to love or understand one another.
