*Shortlisted for the 2026 Cundill History Prize* When the gates of the last Magdalene Laundry closed in 1996, Ireland moved on. Or so it seemed. 'Enraging ... superb' JOHN BANVILLE, Guardian 'Remarkable' Sunday Times 'Groundbreaking' MICK CLIFFORD, Irish Examiner 'An extraordinary gift ... both an education and a page-turner' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA 'Powerful ... authoritative, passionate' Mail on Sunday Following independence in 1922, Ireland began to chase a dream: to become the perfect Catholic nation. But purity had a price. Throughout the twentieth century, thousands of women and girls who did not conform – the wayward, the poor, the disabled, the abused – were sent to the Magdalene Laundries. Each was perceived to have fallen in some way. Once locked inside, their hair was shorn off, their names were erased – and then they were put to work. They washed, they scrubbed and they prayed, labouring in an attempt to salvage their souls. Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary
