A vitally important book.' Louise O'Neill\n\n'A powerfully important book that demands to be read' Irish Examiner\n\nFor over seventy years, Bessborough House, a grand country mansion on the outskirts of Cork city, operated as one of Ireland's biggest mother and baby institutions. Women and girls who walked up its stone steps were warned never to reveal their true identities and gave birth to babies they would not be allowed to keep.\n\nIn Bessborough: Three Women. Three Decades. Three Stories of Courage, a trio of remarkable women confined there in the 60s, 70s and 80s, tell their truths. Their vivid accounts take us right inside the walls of the secretive institution and give us a deep insight into how their experiences impacted their lives afterwards.\nThe result is a stark portrait of a system that split families apart -- and a moving account of love, loss and reconnection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529340389\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54476713034055,"sku":"20260727-102","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/51PF56ob6xL.jpg?v=1785496007","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/bessborough-three-women-three-decades-three-stories-of-courage","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
