REILLY, FRANCES - Suffer the Little Children - the Harrowing True Story of a Girl's Brutal Convent Upbringing

London, Orion. 2008, First Edition. (ISBN: 9780752875462). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, first printing. Clutching their eight week-old sister in their arms, three-year-old Frances and six-year-old Loretta Reilly were abandoned by their mother outside the gates of the Poor Sisters of Nazareth Convent in Belfast in 1956. This is Frances' story of survival, how she suffered horrifically in the charge of the convent sisters, living with daily brutal and bloody beatings, she was treated like a slave, a child worker to be abused, and an orphan to be raped and molested. The convent regime stripped her of everything - an education, her innocence, and her childhood. Frances fought a decade-long court case against the Poor Sisters of Nazareth order to bring to account the nuns who so viciously ruined the lives of many. C3C. Fine/Fine.
