I'd never heard of the Magdalen Houses before listening to this book, never would have believed they were a thing, especially not as long as they were. But the world has ways of surprising you like that.
This book was tough. Heart-wrenching in parts, enraging in others, I just wanted to hold each of the characters and help guide them through their individual struggles. While there were some parts of the plot that seemed more slapped in than actually belonging to the story, the book as a whole has stuck with me, and likely will continue to.
