The Secret Scripture by Sebastian
Barry
Nearing her 100th birthday, Roseanne McNulty faces an uncertain
future, as the Mental hospital where she's spent most of her adult life prepares
for closure. Over the weeks leading up to this upheaval, she talks often with
her psychiatrist Dr Grene. This relationship, guarded but trusting after so
many years, intensifies as Dr Grene mourns the death of his wife.
Told through their respective journals, the story of Roseanne's family in 1930s
Sligo emerges. Refracted through the haze of memory, Roseanne's story becomes
an alternative, secret history of Ireland. It is the story of a life blighted
by maltreatment and ignorance, yet still marked by a flame of love, passion
and hope.

The Other Hand by Chris Cleave
This is a truly special story - to tell you what happens would
spoil it... Nevertheless, you need to know that it is extremely funny, but the
African beach scene is horrific... The story starts there, but the book doesn't...
And it's what happens afterwards that is most important...

A Partisan's Daughter by Louis
De Bernières
Set in North London during the Winter of Discontent, A Partisan's
Daughter features the relationship between Chris, an unhappily-married, middle-aged
Englishman and Roza, a young Serbian woman who has recently moved to London.
While driving through Archway in the course of his job as a medical rep, Chris
is captivated by a young woman on a street corner. Clumsily, he engages her
in conversation, and he secures an invitation to return one day for a coffee.
His visits become more frequent and Roza starts to tell him the story of her
life, drawing him increasingly into her world - from her childhood as a daughter
of one of Tito's partisans, through her journey to England and on to her more
recent colourful and dangerous past in London.
