This was the late Siobhan Dowd's first novel, and it's a heartbreaking one. Based on a true story and set in Ireland in the '80s, it reveals a life that, one hopefully assumes, is far removed from that of most of its readers. For the first two-thirds of the book, it's a chronicle of a life no one should have to lead. A Swift Pure Cry is built on a few clichés of Irish literature that could easily sink it: the poor family, the drunken father, falls from innocence and a trusting faith, an unwanted pregnancy and the bleak moral landscape of strictly religious communities. But for all that, Dowd has written a moving piece of young adult fiction.
