The Convent is the shocking true story of Marie Hargreaves, the girl who survived an evil nun’s care home from hell.

When a fancy car pulls up outside six-year-old Marie's home in 1959, her dad tells her she is going on holiday. But little does she know she will not see her home again for four long years. Her family cannot afford to keep her at home. Marie tells the story of how she was taken away from a poor, but happy and loving home life, to live in a convent - away from everyone and everything she holds dear. Her hair is bluntly chopped, her clothes are taken away, and her name is changed. Then a horrific ritual of physical, sexual and mental abuse begins. Even after the convent closes, Marie is unable to share details of her suffering with anyone. But when a police investigation is launched, Marie realises that the time has come to tell the truth...

I can actually see this and totally understand what hat she is talking about nuns were the most evil creatures and we just couldn’t understand why and they were meant to look out for us . Glad she found some happiness amongst all the pain and heartaches... riveting read

I have a friend who suffered abuse by priest's and nuns in her earlier years , but like Marie her faith is very strong, I admire her and Marie as they are far stronger than I would be , to forgive the abuse they went through, a marvellous book and highly recommended.

a lovely book
