Description

In Dublin's Magdalen Laundry, 1962, sixteen-year-old Teagan Tiernan is sent to live among other young women who have fallen from societal expectations. Stripped of their freedom and dignity, the girls are given new names and denied contact with the outside world. But amidst the cruelty and dehumanization, Teagan finds friendship and hope in Nora Craven and Lea. As they endure the harsh conditions, the girls begin to plot an escape, but they soon discover that the outside world holds its own dangers, especially for those with soiled reputations. V.S. Alexander's masterful novel tells a powerful story of life within these notorious institutions and the unyielding courage of those who resist. With candor and vivid historical detail, The Magdalen Girls is a compelling tale of friendship, survival, and the human spirit.
