Culture, Contention and Identity in Seventeenth-Century Ireland : Antonius Bruodinus' Anatomical Examination of Thomas Carve's Apologetic Handbook

A remarkable memoir about female cruelty, and ultimately female strength and endurance.

The dramatic, newly researched story of an enigmatic institution where 125,000 children were admitted, and 100,000 died or disappeared.

'Say my baby's name' walks the reader gently and gradually through the journey of loss experienced by the five men and twenty-seven women who courageously shared their stories. We learn about every aspect of the journey - from the moment news of the pregnancy breaks, to the sense of foreboding that something is not quite right, and on towards the devastating loss at different stages of pregnancy and birth.
