Roseanne McNulty is one of the last inhabitants of a soon-to-be closed asylum in the West of Ireland. No one knows how old she is or can remember why she was committed. But she knows and, finally, is about to tell her psychiatrist, Dr Grene. Refracted through the haze of memory, Roseanne's account is an extraordinary alternative history of Ireland, and the story of a life blighted by mistreatment, yet marked still by passion and hope.
