Enjoyed 658, so thought I would try another. This was good and well written again, but I found the time shifts annoying and detracted from my enjoyment a lot. I am not sure that they added anything, and if you rearranged the chapters in date order to give a simple linear narrative I think it would have been a much better book.
Set in Ireland from the 1950s through to the new century, this was basically about semi institutionalised sexual abuse carried out by catholic priests, so topical. I didn’t realise that priests have latterly become subject to street abuse just for being dressed as such, but I suppose this is not a surprise.
