Women's Fiction
Iris Bowen is a young Irish gardener and mother of a beloved
adopted daughter, Rose. A recent widow, Iris has spent the
last two years concentrating on the day-to-day business of
launching Rose into the world. But when she receives some
worrisome results on a breast scan, the words of her husband
as he was dying of cancer become hauntingly urgent. He had
begged Iris to search for Rose's birth mother so that Rose
would still have family if anything happened to Iris.
Suddenly, Iris fears that Rose really could be left alone. With no records to guide her beyond a twenty-year-old
envelope, Iris impulsively begins a journey into the past
that takes her to Boston and back to the west of Ireland,
with surprising results for herself, for Rose, and for the
others whom their lives touch. At turns moving and funny, HER NAME IS ROSE by Christine
Breen is a gorgeous and intimate debut novel about what
happens when life does not play out the way you expect.
