Reg Connolly
Written for readers who have finished Book 1.
Reg Connolly is Hannah's first patient on the community round — a fiercely independent eighty-one-year-old in the last fibro house on a road the developers are circling. He is not a religious man; his wariness of having "everything in the one place" is older and harder-won than that, and it makes him one of the first to sense where things are heading. Prickly, principled, and quietly kind, he is the neighbour who answers the back door and not the front.
