"A swift pure cry" - Siobhan Dowd

"Life has been hard for Shell since the death of her mam. Her dad has given up work and turned his back on reality, leaving Shell to care for her brother and sister. When she can, she spends time with her best friend Birdie and the charming, persuasive Declan, sharing cigarettes and irreverent jokes.

Shell is drawn to the kindness of Father Rose, a young priest, but soon finds herself the centre of an escalating scandal that rocks the small Irish community to its foundations. 

This magnificent debut novel was inspired by a true story."

Alguses ei läinud see raaamat üldse kuidagi peale. Aga kuskilt poolepealt hakkas jälle meeldima ja läks huvitavaks. Kõige rohkem paelus selle raamatu juures see, et see on tõesti sündinud loo põhjal kirjutatud. Hämmastav aga samas kurb.
