Description
En el invierno de 1956, la joven embarazada Ivy es enviada en desgracia a St Margaret's, un hogar para madres solteras en el sur de Inglaterra, dirigido por monjas, para tener su hijo. Adoptan a su pequeña hija. Ivy nunca se irá. Sesenta años después, la periodista Samantha se topa con una serie de cartas de Ivy a su amante, suplicándole que la rescate de St. Margaret's antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Mientras Sam reconstruye la trágica historia de Ivy, comienzan a surgir terribles secretos sobre el oscuro pasado de St. Margaret. ¿Qué pasó con Ivy, con su bebé y con los cientos de niños nacidos en la casa? ¿Qué vincula una serie de muertes misteriosas y repentinas en la zona? ¿Y por qué los que una vez trabajaron en St Margaret's están tan interesados en que nunca se deba decir la verdad? Mientras Sam desentierra la siniestra red de mentiras que rodea a St. Margaret's, también mira hacia lo más profundo, para confrontar algunas verdades propias no deseadas.
Description
In the winter of 1956 pregnant young Ivy is sent in disgrace to St Margaret's, a home for unmarried mothers in the south of England, run by nuns, to have her child. Her baby daughter is adopted. Ivy will never leave. Sixty years later, journalist Samantha stumbles upon a series of letters from Ivy to her lover, pleading with him to rescue her from St Margaret's before it is too late. As Sam pieces together Ivy's tragic story, terrible secrets about St Margaret's dark past begin to emerge. What happened to Ivy, to her baby, and to the hundreds of children born in the home? What links a number of mysterious, sudden deaths in the area? And why are those who once worked at St Margaret's so keen that the truth should never be told? As Sam unpicks the sinister web of lies surrounding St Margaret's, she also looks deep within - to confront some unwelcome truths of her own.
