The Amendments follows Nell, an Irish teenager, her mother Delores and Martina who Nell meets through joining the Movement. I don’t want to give the story away as it builds so brilliantly in the book, but Nell finds herself in position which changes the trajectory of her life and stays with her into adulthood.
Fundamental to the story is how the 8th amendment affected these women individually at different times of life. I found myself imagining what it would have been like to be any one of them and just couldn’t even comprehend living through this as a woman. I’m just so glad times have changed!!
This is quite a hard read, but it’s absolutely brilliant. Would 100% recommend!
