Say Sorry is the most disturbing book I have had to
review. Even allowing for the distortions common to childhood
recollections, if only a fraction of it were true it would
still be the stuff of a horror story. Ann Thompson was placed in the care of a Catholic orphanage
in Christchurch when she was 2 months old.
Her mother was 16 and had allegedly been raped. She was illegitimate, motherless, without any extended family support, therefore completely at the mercy of the nuns in whichever establishment she was placed.
