I expect that filing cabinet is full of scripts now. Ridiculously endearing.

I was extremely disappointed in the book in the fact that it tells a story about a traumatic time in Irish life that has not had a lot of depictions in either a cinematic or literary landscape, and it chooses to tell it from the perspective of a man saving a woman.
Women were second class citizens because men chose not to stand up, and in most cases propagated the system that oppressed them, so I find it highly disrespectful to not only tell a story about a heroic man, but to have him literally save a woman depicted as nothing more than a victim. If the book had any class it would have given a victim as much page count as a non-existent hero.
The Magdalene Laundrys were a failure of a society and to write a book that washes it through a fable of male heroism is fake at best, and willfully ignorant at worst.
