In 47 Roses, Peter Sheridan tells the moving and sometimes shocking story of "the other woman" in his parents' lives. Upon his father's sudden death in Dublin, Sheridan finds out about his father's almost fifty-year relationship with Doris, an Englishwoman who was both less and far more than a mistress. Sheridan elegantly describes his search for the truth in the face of resistance from his mother, who falls fatally ill. He eventually meets Doris and learns that she never married, living only for her brief meetings with Sheridan's father. This beautifully written portrait of a marriage forces us, like Sheridan himself, to face truths of the heart that refuse to conform to the easy verities of convention.
Thank you for the book, MissMarkey!
It was wonderful to be at the Convention in Oxford!

That was a nice story even if I did not like Peter's father. Thank you MissMarkey!
Now I have to look for the first book, 44. Maybe I'll find it some time.

Picked this up from the Ranta-Kerttu meet-up in Turku. Gave Annelis a lift home as it was raining cats and dogs and you can't have books travelling by public transportation in that kind of weather!😊😊😊
I think I saw this book in Oxford, but resisted the temptation there.
