In the Beginning

Catherine Dunne

Rose has been married to Ben for 20 years when he suddenly announces one morning that he is leaving her and their three children. Catherine Dunne's description of Rose's attempt to get through the first few hours after he has left by going through her familiar routine is heart-breakingly true to life. Interspersed with the painful reactions of Rose and her children are flashbacks to the days when Ben and Rose met and married and to the beginnings of Ben's affair with a work colleague. In the Beginning is also told with humour and hope, as Rose discovers her strength and begins to realise she can take charge of her own life. - John Spain, Irish Independent
