A real stunner of a book

[barboo]

Hello all,
Ive just finished a book called "the magdalen" by Marita conlon-McKenna,
Its about how the workhouses worked and the unmarried mothers fate in this workhouse run by the nuns.
It really is a very sad but true story of both the times and the life's of such women and how unjust life was.
a well worth reading book.
I bought the book through " world of books .com'.

Have seen a film about the Magellan sisters quite disturbing about the conditions these girls went through.

Hi Mrs Boodles,
It's hard to believe such a way of life really did happen and not so long ago,
When you count your eggs (excuse the pun) We really do live in the good times.
