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 and complicates as Dr Grene mourns the death of his wife. Told through their respective journals, the story that emerges – of Roseanne’s family in 1930s Sligo – is at once shocking and deeply beautiful. Refracted through the haze of memory and retelling, Roseanne’s story becomes an alternative, secret history of Ireland. Exquisitely written and deeply moving, it is the story of a life blighted by terrible maltreatment and ignorance, and yet still marked by a flame of love, passion and hope. Sebastian’s A LONG LONG WAY , was shortlisted for the Man Booker and IMPAC prizes and winner of the Kerry Group Prize for Irish Fiction.
