With his trademark wit and honesty, Peter Sheridan has written an enthralling account of his parents' relationship, from their first encounter over a poker game in a Dundalk canteen to their final, happy days together in retirement. But all was not as straightforward as it appeared, for when Sheridan's father died suddenly, it became painfully evident that an awkward situation needed to be resolved. Since the 1940s, Peter's father had maintained a relationship with another woman, Doris, who now has to be informed of her old friend's death. At turns humorous and heartbreaking, 47 Roses is the unforgettable tale of a love that can transcend even overpowering odds.
