A masterful short story that builds a convincing sense of unease and collusion as the narration progresses.
Part of me wished the women (those abused in the Magdalene laundries like Sarah as well as Bill's wife, the nuns and other female characters in town) were more fleshed out as characters. Didn't necessarily detract from the perfect pacing and sparse prose but left me wanting more from their perspectives.
A haunting read, will stay with me for a while.
