I have just finished reading the latest offering from popular irish novelist Sheila O'flanagan.

This was not the first time that i had read one of her books and i have read practically all of her previous ones.

Someone special is essentially about an irish family, most of her books centre round the family and the different dynamics in them.

The main characters in this book are Romy the youngest child of 3 whose father was her mothers second husband and now divorced, her older sister and older brother both of whom were from her mother first marriage which ended when her husband died.

Romy is an archeoligist living in austraila when she gets a call from her brother to say she needs to come home and look after their mother following an operation, as her brother is married with children and her sister is married and a high flyer in new york, romy is seen as the obvious choice.

Romy however has done all she can to stay well away from her family and all the memories and unhappy feelings that brings, but romy knows that she must go back and thats just the start.

There is also the special man that she has to leave behind.

This is another great easy reading book from the irish author shelia o'flanagan.

She has written lots of other books and and short stories and was once the first female chief dealer in Ireland.
