Description

Suffer the Little Children exposes a hidden Ireland of industrial schools, reform schools, convents, orphanages, places of such brutality, even savagery, you will wince from page to page. But wincing isn't enough. The value of this powerful book is that it might force us to look, wherever we are, at the least among us - the powerless, the children. -- Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes
