In Foster, Claire Keegan writes in a spare, restrained style that leaves space for the reader to interpret and feel the nuanced emotions that propel the narrative forward. Keegan relies on stark, observational prose and sparse dialogue to capture her young narrator's perspective. Through minute, subtle details, she shows the girl's disposition and the experiences that have shaped it, as opposed to telling the reader outright what the girl thinks and how she feels. Take, for example, this snippet of narration:
The car door is opened and I am taken out, and kissed. My face, being kissed, turns hot against hers.
