This is a book that cried to be written!  "No Country for Young Women" is a story of Ireland and the Catholic Church and the abuses condoned therein.  If the Irish did start fighting back in the 1970's kudos to them. Took the United States a few more years to talk about and try to bring to justice the priests who were sexually abusing boys in their parishes. This book also brings to light the physical, mental, and emotional abuse by men toward their wives and the response of the priests when the women came to them for help. I don't mean to imply that this book is depressing.....it is difficult, but the courage and resourcefulness of the characters in the story gives one a feeling of hopefulness that justice can be found.
