Re: What book are you reading now?
Been sorting my cellar out these past few days and came across a pile of books, one of which was, don’t ever tell, by I think Kathy o,brien, she was physically and mentally abused by her father beaten severely, then sent to a school ran by nuns, at seven she was raped by an older boy, and sexually abused by a priest at the school, sent to an asylum for further beatings and sexual abuse, before being sent to the infamous magdalin laundry, they were basically slaves, and treated as such, this was in Ireland in the 1970s, I’ve got to the point where, at fourteen she was raped by a visiting lay preacher and has just given birth to a baby girl, I’ve never been moved by a book so much before it was truly appalling the way they were treated by the people who were supposed to be caring for them, I can only liken the cruelty to the treatment metered out by the Japanese to the pows during the war, it’s all true , shocking, if you can find this book then I urge you to read it,
