Perihal buku audio ini

In "Magdalene," the compelling next chapter of The Addlestone Chronicles, the veil is lifted on a shadow that has lingered over Europe: the harrowing reality of the Irish Magdalene Laundries, and their sinister legacy that endured until the close of the 20th century. This narrative not only delves into the heart of Nazi ambitions but also casts a revealing light on the parallels between the tumult of the 1930s and the unsettling political winds of today.

James and Louise Harcourt-Heath return, their journey as British spies and philanthropists taking them into the darkest corners of history and human cruelty. With Europe on the brink, their quest is twofold: to thwart the Nazis' designs on Ireland as a strategic ally and to disrupt the appalling Lebensborn programme's efforts to ensnare Irish girls in its web.

Set against a backdrop of espionage and resilience, "Magdalene" explores the chilling misuse of power—both by the Nazis and within the infamous Magdalene Laundries. These institutions, masquerading as refuges, subjected countless girls and women to unimaginable abuse, all under the guise of penitence.

Through the indomitable spirit of its protagonists, "Magdalene" confronts the evils of the past, drawing stark lines to the echoes of fascism and authoritarianism rising in the early 21st century. From the United States to the heartlands of Europe—UK, France, Italy, Poland—and the iron grip of Putin's Russia, the novel is a timely reminder of the vigilance required to guard against the resurgence of ideologies that seek to divide and dominate.

"Magdalene" is more than a historical thriller; it is a poignant call to remember and resist, to acknowledge the shadows of history so that they may never be cast again. Join James and Louise in their most personal and challenging mission yet, as they navigate the complexities of morality, justice, and courage in the face of overwhelming darkness.
