About this listen
The Convent is the shocking true story of Marie Hargreaves, the girl who survived an evil nun’s care home from hell.
When a fancy car pulls up outside six-year-old Marie's home in 1959, her dad tells her she is going on holiday. But little does she know she will not see her home again for four long years. Her family cannot afford to keep her at home. Marie tells the story of how she was taken away from a poor but happy and loving home life to live in a convent - away from everyone and everything she holds dear. Her hair is bluntly chopped, her clothes are taken away and her name is changed. Then a horrific ritual of physical, sexual and mental abuse begins. Even after the convent closes, Marie is unable to share details of her suffering with anyone. But when a police investigation is launched, Marie realises that the time has come to tell the truth....

Very sad tale
Very moving you felt the child but I felt at times it left something’s unanswered having said that it was a very personal story to tell. Im glad you found forgiveness.

Sad Yet Uplifting
This is an uplifting story of a little girl and her struggle to survive horrible experiences most adults could not handle. Amazing.

Brilliant
Thank you for sharing this story
Only a very brave adult of a tormented little child/self could write this memoir.
So many people in authoritarian roles have so much to answer for.
No one can erase this type of experience.
Beautifully written
Beautifully narrated
Once again…thank you for sharing this story with the world
Highly recommend

Such a sad yet compelling story
The story was just so sad of what Marie went through and the subsequent trials and tribulations of her life, but I couldn't stop listening.... also special mention to the narrator - I loved listening to her

Uplifting true story
I was captivated by the tragic story of abuse that such a young girl experienced and the ongoing impact of this cruelty on her future life. A genuine and caring person who suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church.

Heartbreaking 
For an organisation portrayed as giving and generous, it’s heartbreaking to hear of the barbaric treatment these children faced.

Outstanding read
This is by far one of the saddest yet brilliantly written and read book yet encountered. Much of the content mad me angry yet at times I found myself laughing at the way it was written through the eyes of a child. Although I’ve known for some time about some of the horrors that have been occurring in orphanages run by the church, this one held nothing back. Don’t let the content put you off.
