Now a major motion picture starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan and nominated for four Academy Awards: the heartbreaking true story of an Irishwoman and the secret she kept for 50 years
When she became pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to a convent to be looked after as a “fallen woman.” Then the nuns took her baby from her and sold him, like thousands of others, to America for adoption. Fifty years later, Philomena decided to find him.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Philomena’s son was trying to find her. Renamed Michael Hess, he had become a leading lawyer in the first Bush administration, and he struggled to hide secrets that would jeopardize his career in the Republican Party and endanger his quest to find his mother.
A gripping exposé told with novelistic intrigue, Philomena pulls back the curtain on the role of the Catholic Church in forced adoptions and on the love between a mother and son who endured a lifelong separation.

Condizione: Bueno. : En 1952, en Irlanda, Philomena Lee, siendo una adolescente embarazada, fue enviada a un convento para ser cuidada como una "mujer caída". Luego, las monjas le quitaron a su bebé y lo vendieron, como a miles de otros, a Estados Unidos para su adopción. Cincuenta años después, Philomena decide buscarlo. Mientras tanto, al otro lado del Atlántico, el hijo de Philomena también la está buscando. Renombrado como Michael Hess, se había convertido en un destacado abogado en la primera administración de Bush, y luchaba por ocultar secretos que pondrían en peligro su carrera en el Partido Republicano y pondrían en riesgo su búsqueda de su madre. Una exposición fascinante contada con intriga novelística, Philomena levanta el telón sobre el papel de la Iglesia Católica en las adopciones forzadas y sobre el amor entre una madre y un hijo que soportaron una separación de por vida.
