A review by 0atmilks
The Lost Child of Philomena Lee by Martin Sixsmith

dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.75

a book that highlights the awful experiences of the women, girls and children unfortunate enough to be placed in magdalen laundries. 


i understand the  intention of the book is to tell a story and not necessarily provide a critique. it’s difficult to overlook what feels like sympathetic and defensive undertones when the matter of michael hess’ involvement in the Republican Party is addressed in the book.
