The Snapper by Roddy Doyle

Synopsis

Meet the Rabbitte family, motley bunch of loveable ne'er-do-wells whose everyday purgatory is rich with hangovers, dogshit and dirty dishes. When the older sister announces her pregnancy, the family are forced to rally together and discover the strangeness of intimacy. But the question remains: which friend of the family is the father of Sharon's child?

By the bestselling author of The Commitments, now a long-running West End stage show.

Reviews

‘Jimmy Sr [is] a wonderful mixture of obscene bluster and boozy sentimentality. . . . He's intensely real, and the novel comes vividly alive as he begins to understand that he can't control the feisty Sharon.’ The New York Times

‘Few novels depict parent-child relationships . . . better than this one, and few men could write sensitively about pregnancy. Don't pass up this novel.’ Los Angeles Times

‘Very, very funny . . . The most amazing account of a pregnancy ever written.’ Maeve Binchy
