A Girl Called Rosie (2014)
“As they unloaded the luggage, tiny stabs of warm rain fell. Sitting by the window, as the train steamed steadily eastwards, smoke billowing around the carriages in the strengthening breeze, Rosie watched the heavier rain catch up with them, driven by the strengthening westerly wind from the Atlantic, and spatter noisily against the window beside her.The rain continued to chase them eastwards throughout the day. She watched the green countryside slip past beyond the streaming carriage windows, i...ts rich colours even more intense under the laden grey skies than in the brilliant sunshine of their journey down.They arrived in Dublin in a downpour, heard thunder in the night and set off again the next morning as the first gleams of light broke through the massed clouds. As they stood outside the hotel waiting for the luggage to be loaded, she watched the wet pavements begin to dry, the pale centre of each flagstone expanding outwards in the fresh breeze, moment by moment.
