Description
Poor lamb, poor lamb, that was what the nun said when, as a child in an orphanage, he asked if his parents were dead. Frankie Lynham is seventy years of age and is about to undergo heart surgery. On the night before the operation he sits in his kitchen remembering how, just one year before, a woman arrived claiming to be his sister. Her visit rocked his world and launched him on a desperate quest to find out as much as he could about the family he had never known and above all, why his mother had abandoned him to the care of strangers. He has until daybreak to try to make some sense of what he has discovered. This timely novel digs to the heart of the scandalous treatment meted out to many vulnerable women in Ireland in the 20th century.
