Suzanne suffered five heart attacks and made it through open heart surgery. But even that pales in comparison to the horrors she faced as a young girl. Her childhood became the ‘stuff of nightmares’ after her father passed away and her mother, unable to get a job in Ireland, had to seek work in London. So ‘Mammy’ was forced into the heart-breaking decision to put Suzanne and her five siblings into church-run orphanages in Dublin while she worked away. It was just meant to be temporary.

Extremely slow and quite boring.

While I certainly have sympathy for the hardships these poor children faced, I just don’t think it’s a particularly interesting story. As one of six children, brought up by Irish parents and a strict Catholic schooling, I can understand exactly how cruel the nuns and priests were back in the 1960’s and 70’s, even in America. This account of her childhood is 9 hours of eye rolling, repetitive chapters read in a droning manner without much in the way of inflection or character. Yes, these were terribly sad years she and her siblings endured - but perhaps it would have been better suited for a family journal than a novel. To me it was an eye rolling repetitive description of a childhood that basically sucked.
Sorry that this review sounds callous and unsympathetic, I just wish I had the chance to read one like it before I bought the book!
