Fallen star / Joan O'Neill

O'Neill, Joan
Fallen star / Joan O'Neill [A]. -- London : Hodder Children's Books, c2005

The Magdalene Laundries are an important, if controversial, part of Ireland's recent history. Any examination of the 'whys' and 'wherefores' of that brutal regime deserves to be handled with sensitivity and compassion and who better to write a novel on the subject than Jhoan O'Neill. She's a hugely warm and empathetic writer, with a keen eye human behaviour and a great sense of humour.
