Neuware -\*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 SundayFollowing independence in 1922, Ireland began to chase a dream: to become the perfect Catholic nation.
