Supermarket Flowers by Dermot Bolger

A deteriorating relationship between a woman who owns a house, outside which a child is knocked down at a bus stop, and the grieving mother who insists on leaving fresh flowers there each day turning the woman’s garden wall into a permanent shrine.

Jane Brennan reads Dermot Bolger's short story.
