The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry
Nearing her one-hundredth birthday, and facing the closure of the mental institution where she's spent most her adulthood, Roseanne relates her astonishing life to psychiatrist Dr Grene. Told through their respective journals, the story that emerges is at once shocking and deeply beautiful. Exquisitely written, it is the story of a life blighted by terrible mistreatment and ignorance, and yet marked still by love, passion and hope.
Sebastian Barry was born in Dublin in 1955 and educated at The Catholic University School and Trinity College, Dublin, where he was later Writer Fellow in 1996. His plays include Boss Grady's Boys, The Steward of Christendom, Our Lady of Sligo, and The Pride of Parnell Street, and his novels, The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty, Annie Dunne, A Long Long Way, The Secret Scripture and On Canaan's Side.
