Summary
IMPRISONED BY EVIL, HER SPIRIT NEVER SURRENDERED
1944, Ravensbrück - the infamous concentration camp for women. Amid unimaginable suffering, Sr Kate McCarthy, an Irish nun and Resistance fighter, stands at the gates.
Kate joined the French Resistance at the outbreak of war. She risked everything to fight tyranny, enduring capture, interrogation and brutal imprisonment. Her faith never faltered. Her resolve never broke.
Now, as the war reaches its final, harrowing chapter, Kate faces her greatest test yet. Alongside her closest allies, Sylvette and Angèle, she must summon every ounce of strength to endure what lies beyond the barbed wire - and to keep hope alive when all seems lost.
The Nun of Ravensbrück is a powerful debut novel based on real events, bringing to life the untold story of an extraordinary woman who lit a beacon of hope in humanity's darkest hour.©2026 Catherine Fleming (P)2026 Hachette Books Ireland

Critic reviews
A wonderfully accomplished and courageous debut, very chilling and sensitively written. The horrors of war are all too real, and the characters are skilfully drawn
A harrowing, gripping read of how an Irish nun's fortitude, courage, selflessness and faith brought light and hope to a place of inhumanity and sickening brutality, in one of history's darkest times. I felt very humbled reading it
