It mainly features a woman called Rose. We meet her when she is staying at a hotel after her husband's funeral. As she does so, she reflects on her past life.
Rose remembers the side of her life that everyone else saw. But she also thinks about her secret life and thoughts. There are some clever and effective flashbacks which alternate with the present, gradually building up a well-rounded character and an interesting story.
Rose decides what her future will hold, in what I considered a hopeful ending.
The people were believable, and I quite liked the book. But there was rather too much bad language for my tastes, so I would only recommend it with that proviso.
