Join us for a lively discussion of Sebastian Barry’s The Secret Scripture, winner of the Irish Novel of the Year Award and finalist for The Los Angeles Times Book Prize, among others.
As a young woman, Roseanne McNulty was one of the most beautiful and beguiling girls in County Sligo, Ireland. Now, as her hundredth year draws near, she is a patient at Roscommon Regional Mental Hospital, and she decides to record the events of her life—leading both her and her doctor to discover long-buried secrets about themselves.
Set against an Ireland besieged by conflict, The Secret Scripture is an epic story of love, betrayal, and unavoidable tragedy.
