About this deal

Marie, six, and her seven-year-old brother, Fred, were placed in Greenfield House when their parents, who had eight other children, were temporarily unable to look after them. All these abuses were not only permitted but also instructed by Sister Isobel,the nun who was supposed to protect and take care of the children. Then detectives from Merseyside Police came and spoke to her - as well as other victims - and in 2015 the force identified Sister Isobel O'Brien as a suspect - only to find out she had died and so the allegations made against her could not be tested in court.

How terrible when they find out they are being discarded and sent to a convent, at the mercy of the nuns who are supposed to be taking care of them, but they do anything but. In the end, the author depicts her life with honesty and her final revelations were both truthful and direct.

The Convent is the shocking true story of Marie Hargreaves, the girl who survived an evil nun’s care home from hell. Marie, six, and her seven-year-old brother, Fred, were placed in Greenfield House temporarily when their parents, who had eight other children, were unable to look after them. This book broke my heart from the very beginning and just kept hitting to the point I had to take breaks while reading which is rare for me because it was just too much in some parts and anyone that has read this book will understand.

I would like to thank Mirror Books, Netgalley and the author Marie Hargreaves, the bravest woman I've ever read for allowing me to read it early. The charity which set up the convent have launched an investigation and have publicly apologised to all the victims. A police investigation in December 2015 revealed Sister O'Brien as a suspect, but she died before the case could be heard in court. Marie Hargreaves has forgiven the cruel nun who she says allowed her to be molested at a home for orphans when was just a child.

And she was right, every time she cried, Marie would be punished by the nuns who were supposed to look after her.I had to be up at 6am and do all my chores before we were taken to school, which was near the convent. Notes from Marie's solicitor, AO Advocates, describe the effects of the abuse, stating: "The client experiences flashbacks and nightmares.
