Wunderschön geschrieben, jedes einzelne Wort mit Bedacht gewählt. Es sind nur 110 Seiten und doch konnte ich am Ende meine Tränen nicht mehr zurückhalten. So unfassbar traurig und bedeutungsvoll.
Die Geschichte wird aus der Perspektive eines gutherzigen Familienvaters Bill Furlong erzählt, der ein gutes Leben führt und einfach glücklich ist, mit dem, was er hat. Es geht aber das Gerücht rum, dass die Frauen im Kloster des Dorfes von den Nonnen ausgebeutet und zur Arbeit gezwungen werden. Bill kann das nicht glauben, bis er die jungen Frauen, die eigentlich nur Zuflucht suchten, mit eigenen Augen sieht.
Eine weitere Tragödie in der irischen Geschichte, von der ich noch nie zuvor gehört habe. Ich kann das Buch nur empfehlen!!
