    Does what it says

    Anyone interested in what used to happen to unmarried mothers in Ireland because of religion should read this true story by a respected jrnalist. Had no idea of the traumas caused until watching the film starring Dame Judi Dench and had to learn more.

    Very disappointing.

    The film was really good and about Philomena. The book is about her son, his homosexuality and how that didn't work alongside his chosen career within American politics of the era. There is very little about Philomena. It feels like the author hasn't really got enough material for the book so he makes it up as he goes along with a fictional feel to it. If you have seen the film please don't read this book, you'll be so disappointed.

    An already written book rebranded

    This book is almost identical to The lost child of Philomina Lee. It was put out & rebranded after the film (which was great but not factual). I bought it as I thought it was a new book . Disappointed as I’d already read the original which was interesting. Not really the story of Philomina but her son Micheal.
