You will need a whole box of tissues for this heartbreaking tale of Irish. mothers and daughters. It truly captures the carelessness of men towards woman and the sadistic sanctimonious cruelty of nuns. Shame is the strongest emotion evoked in me. The shame that young expectant mothers were made to feel. Shame that the men in this story cared so little for women after they had their way with them. I wish that Aoife and Rosaleen had felt able to fight harder against the patriarchy in this moving story.
