Reviews

[Barbara Gordon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Autobiographical novel, centred on the author’s childhood and on his mother (the Rose of the title), a strong woman raising several children with little help from their charming, irresponsible father. Good insights into the life of working poor families in post-war and pre-Thatcher England and intriguing background for fans of the author’s Borrible trilogy.
