Summary

Una impactante historia de poder, secretos y crueldad, dirigida desde los niveles más altos del Vaticano, que apartó a miles de niños de sus madres.
 
Hay una crueldad impactante en imaginar a una embarazada que teje calcetines para el bebé que le arrebatarán de los brazos en cuanto nazca. Era una imagen habitual, sin embargo, en los orfanatos desde los que la Iglesia puso en marcha un auténtico negocio de adopciones que, entre los años cincuenta y setenta del siglo pasado, llevó a muchas madres a no volver a saber nada de aquellos hijos a los que tuvieron que renunciar.
 
Maria Laurino recupera aquí testimonios y, con una documentación impecable, considera la intersección entre el catolicismo, las mujeres, el sexo y el pecado, y sobre cómo moldea la vida privada. Un relato conmovedor y brillante sobre la tenacidad de las personas al buscar sus orígenes y tratar de responder a aquellas preguntas que han estado largo tiempo enterradas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A shocking story of power, secrets and cruelty orchestrated by the highest levels of the Vatican, which separated thousands of children from their mothers.
 
Imagine a young woman knitting booties for the baby that will be torn from her arms the moment it is born. As unbearable as it seems, these was a scene repeated all too often in the Church-run orphanages that served as a veritable adoption business in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Countless mothers were forced to give up their babies and were never able to learn their fate. 
 
Maria Laurino has collected their testimonies in this meticulously documented study of the intersection between Catholicism, women, sex and sin, and its effect on private life. A brilliant and moving account of the tenacity of people searching for their roots and answers to questions that have been buried for too long.
