In Death in a Dacron Sail, Mary Noonan becomes a private patient of Rhe’s, when Rhe is put on unpaid leave from the hospital following her beating by a patient. Mary is a grandmotherly type, chipper, bright, and energetic, capable of doing many things for herself, but she’s become forgetful lately and isn’t eating. She is quintessentially Irish, with apple-pink cheeks and a round face, and speaks with a brogue. She also likes to cook and tantalizes Rhe with her soda bread and biscuits. Mary also provides Rhe with a pivotal clue, which leads to her discovery of what happened to her childhood friend Deirdre, who disappeared when Rhe was eleven.
I loved creating this character – how do you see her?
Mrs Doubtfire?
What a perfect image! And the accent is spot on….Wait until you see the actress I picked out!
I’m sure she’s adorable. A cuddly type. Can’t think of an actress.
I have one in mind!
Tell me who!
You have to wait until the end of A-Z!
Suspenseful strategy!
Delightful character. Loved the book and the characters too. 🙂
Thanks, Bette. This A-Z has been easy and fun!
Judi Dench in her Philomena role 🙂
I actually thought of her!
