"Brilliantly original" - Lynda La Plante. Heritage, history, war and romance interweave in the three dramatic storylines of MY DARK ROSALEEN, a family saga of Ireland: 1990 Rosaleen - a middle aged, middle class Englishwoman is languishing in a prison cell on charges of terrorism; 1921 Catherine - an Irish heiress gives up everything to live in the Liverpool dockland slums; 1588 Hugo - a young Spanish boy is plunged into the blood-soaked battles of the Spanish Armada and early 17th century Ireland.
