The Skeleton Woman

Renée

There doesn’t seem much point in drawing attention to blackbirds or high tides when five thousand people are said to have died in the towers, when people in wheelchairs had to be left by the able-bodied because the lifts weren’t working and there was no time to step a wheelchair down the flights and flights of stairs … The images play on, over and over, as though if they are repeated enough times the world might actually get a grip on it … Tap, tap go the feet of the Skeleton Woman tap tap, tap tap, as everyone’s life changes forever.

Rose Anthony’s life has just become much more complicated. There’s a baby abandoned on her doorstep, and long kept secrets are about to fly into the open. But Rose has no room for this latest dilemma.
