Rosie

'The voice on the other end of the phone was severe. "It's your grandmother ... She's been arrested." '

Nick Robertson has become used to his grandmother Rosie's dotty behaviour. At 86, a widow now, she is determined that before life passes her by, she will live a little. Or, preferably, a lot.

It wouldn't be so bad if Nick had nothing else to do, but with a job to find, two warring parents to cope with and a love life in terminal decline, he would prefer his grandmother to get on with things quietly. But, Rosie insists, there is no time like the present. Life is to be enjoyed to the full and to hell with the consequences. She'll help Nick find the soulmate he clearly lacks and he can help her make the most of her few remaining years. There is no such thing as the generation gap ...

Rosie is another deliciously entertaining novel from the immensely popular author of The Haunting, Folly and Bring Me Home.
