A small book with a big message
I was drawn to this Booker prize nominee because it takes place in Ireland. It is a spare book(about 150 pages) that will haunt you for a long . When and how do people stand up to evil in the face of a complicit culture?

Americans may not be so familiar with the tragedy in Ireland that was the "Magdalene laundries", so-called refuges for "wicked women"(unmarried and pregnant).
Now an Oprah recommendation and a movie release have brought this book into the limelight it deserves.
