Roseanne McNulty may (or may not) be on the point of nearing her 100th birthday -- but there is little certainty about this fact. In her twilight years, her destiny is uncertain, as the Roscommon Mental Hospital -- her home for so many years of her life -- is on the point of closing. As the fateful hour approaches, Roseanne spends her time of talking to her psychiatrist of many years, Dr Grene. The relationship between the two is strangely interdependent, and the doctor is also attempting to come to terms with the death of his wife. As we learn more about the two principal protagonists, we are presented with a rich and subtle picture of human relationships -- and the (often unintentional) damages that we all do to each other.

Left in sitting room of castle.

This is going to be a can't put down book !! I have just read the first few paragraphs and it has drawn me in.
Picked it up on 26 March in wonderful peaceful Holy Island it was just lying there in the Castle near a window and now I am introduced to a new world of leaving books for others to enjoy and travel with.
It is now in Wokingham Berkshire, seven hours travelling away and in a totally different area, noisy and busy.
A cold and overcast day so with cat on lap it is calling to me to discover Rosanne McNulty's world.
