Description
The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry is a powerful and moving novel about a life marked by love, passion, and hope, yet blighted by terrible mistreatment and ignorance. Nearing her one-hundredth birthday, Roseanne McNulty faces an uncertain future as the hospital where she's spent her adult life prepares for closure.
Through the journals of Roseanne and her psychiatrist Dr Grene, the story that emerges is both shocking and deeply beautiful, refracted through the haze of memory and retelling. This is a story of an alternative, secret history of Ireland's changing character, and the story of a life that has been shaped by the complexities of human relationships.
With its unique narrative structure and poignant exploration of the human experience, The Secret Scripture is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
