A wonderful story about being human and a powerful critique to the hypocrisy of those who believe being good comes from being religious. Also, a hopeful reminder that we should help when we can.

Already he could feel a world of trouble waiting for him behind the next door, but the worst that could have happened was also already behind him; the thing not done, which could have been - which he would have to live with for the rest of his life.

This story was inspiring and reminded me of the good that people can be capable of, even in face of adversity. It reads like classic Irish literature and I won’t be surprised if it joins the Irish canon!

A thought-provoking wintery read. Despite what others have said I thought the brevity of the book worked really well, allowing it to be slow-paced and set on just a few days without it becoming boring. There was a very interesting premise, exploring the Magdalen Laundries without being too graphic, and with a large emphasis on the things unsaid. The inner dialogue style worked really well, allowing the novel to focus on the different influences which cause people to act or not to act when they see something happening.
