Today's #womenshistoryreads pick is one I haven't read - but the sad history of the Magdalen Laundries shouldn't be forgotten, and fiction can provide a way in. Any readers want to weigh in on this one? #womenshistory #bookstagram #historicalfiction #histfic #herstory #ireland #magdalengirls #vsalexander
AmbityScambity I'm completely unfamiliar with this topic, but the book sounds really good. I'm looking forward to learning more about it. 7y
KCorter My book club just finished this one! It wasn't high literature, so don't expect to be floored by the writing style or even character development. The story itself was shocking and gripped my attention to the last page. It is an interesting commentary on rumor and reputation, and how assumptions can have deadly consequences. I would recommend it, but give a trigger warning for abuse in the church, rape, and alcoholism. 7y
