Joan Rosier-Jones — Yes A Novel By
David Ling Publishing Limited 2000 Paperback, 196pp. 'Yes' is a moving, contemporary novel telling the story of the relationship between two women, now in their thirties, who have been friends since childhood. It is set in Ireland where Dana, stricken with cancer, is in hospice care having returned from Australia to die. Her friend Susan is torn between envy of Dana's achievements and regrets for the all too short future. This is not a bleak tragedy but rather a joyous story in praise of life and love.
