Nearing her one-hundredth birthday, Roseanne McNulty faces an uncertain future, as the Roscommon Regional Mental hospital where she's spent the best part of her adult life prepares for closure. Over the weeks leading up to this upheaval, she talks often with her psychiatrist Dr Grene, and their relationship intensifies and complicates.

A new edition of the novel about a woman who has spent her life in a mental hospital, whose past is looked into by her psychiatrist. Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2008, this new edition ties in with a new film adaptation.
