If you’re easily offended by the above sentence then you probably shouldn’t even try reading this book.Ī lot of the themes are very graphic and describe the life of Anais who has constantly lived in care homes following the murder of her guardian Teresa. Being Irish the characters from the book constantly talk with ‘umnay’ ‘cannae’ ‘chole’ and other Irish words or English inflections. Sorry about that, but it can be a bit of a difficult read. You’d think it’s a cunt of a fucking book but it really wasnae, shit easy aye.

She has no recollection of events leading up to the arrest and is placed into a care home ‘The Panopticon’.
