Críticas:
"A remarkable book" (Mary Raftery, The Irish Times)
"He has articulated the grief and fear of something like 30,000 men and woman who will never forget the experiences they had. They have badly needed this unforgettable testimony. But we should all welcome it, and read it." (Irish Independent)
"Vivid and deeply moving...one man's personal journey from an unforgiving past to an uncertain future" (Dr Michael Kennedy, RIA, Executive Editor, Documents on Irish Foreign Policy)
"The authenticity and simple eloquence of this work makes it compelling, if dark, reading. The text cries out to Heaven! It holds up a mirror to official Ireland, the Irish state and the Catholic Church...Read it, and weep." (Professor Dermot Keogh)
"This harrowingly honest book could never have been published in Tyrrell's lifetime. The least we owe to his memory is not to ignore it now." (Dermot Bolger, Sunday Business post)

I warn society against the child who has been hurt
Peter Tyrrell
A tormented childhood in Letterfrack industrial school with the Christian Brothers left an enduring mark on Peter Tyrrell. Ignored by the authorities and distressed by his memories, he later burned himself to death on Hampstead Heath in London. His story of horrific abuse is told with childlike simplicity, penned in a series of letters to Senator Owen Sheehy Skeffington. Bringing to life, with touching sincerity, a shocking reality where beatings of children as young as five were commonplace, this startling account may have gone unpublished if not for its chance discovery amongst Skeffington's papers. At last, Peter Tyrrell has been given a voice.
Tyrrell never recovered from the abuse that he suffered, yet was determined that his story should be heard. His memoir makes for harrowing yet extraordinarily compelling reading. It is impossible not to be touched.
