Rosie by Alan Titchmarsh

'It's your Grandmother.'
'Yes'
'She's been arrested'
Nick Robertson thought he'd got used to his grandmother Rosie's dotty behaviour. At 87-years-old she is determined that before life passes her by she will live a little. Or, preferably, a lot.
It wouldn't be so bad if Nick had nothing else to do. But with a living to make on the Isle of Wight, two warring parents on the mainland to cope with and a love life in terminal decline, he would prefer his grandmother to get on with things a little more quickly.
But there is no time like the present, Rosie insists. Life is to be enjoyed to the full and to hell with the consequences. She will help Nick find the soul mate he clearly lacks, and he can help her find out more about her past. It seems a simple task, but it turns out to involve rather more sculduggery than Nick had anticipated...
Alan Titchmarsh's sparkling new novel is a delicious blend of humour and romance - and a resounding affirmation that there is no such thing as the generation gap.
