About this listen
The story of Kathleen's escape from incarceration in an institution for "fallen women."
In 1974, the shadows of the Magdalene laundry still haunt Kathleen as she daringly escapes from a life of oppression. Now on the run, the priest is hot on her trail. As the priest's attention shifts to other lost souls, the consequences are nothing short of devastating.
Meanwhile, a famous American actress and her wealthy husband have arrived in Ireland to adopt a baby and discover an unexpected offer they cannot refuse. Will it turn out to be a dream come true or a nightmare waiting to unfold?
Enter the O’Sullivans, a struggling Catholic family in Belfast battling the weight of poverty and the turmoil of the Troubles. With a fifth child adding to their financial strain and ostracised by their Protestant neighbours, their house is about to be petrol-bombed. The couple face a momentous choice––hope the conflict will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life. Desperation drives Mrs O’Sullivan to come up with a plan that offers the family a glimmer of hope, but at what price?
Inspired by true events, this is a powerful story of joy and sorrow uncovering the profound and catastrophic effects of the Irish Troubles, the Catholic Church’s practices in Ireland and the systemic abuse by those in positions of authority.
For fans of Philomena, the book that inspired the Academy Award-nominated film, starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan.
