The story is a microcosm of the broad suffering wrought by the intimate liaison between the Catholic Church and the Irish State, particularly on young women and their offspring. Throughout, it is a reflection on the emotional impact of class, social and religious intolerance on human lives, both in the not-so-distant past and in the present. Much like the whole new Ireland of today, however, the Ellises are determined to lay to rest their bitterness, which opens the door for reconciliation.
