"A skillful mixture of buoyant farce and wrenching drama...Doyle's masterly use of jabbing, staccato sentences and emotional repetitions produces a nervous intensity that exactly reproduces how his heroine--and she is that, no other word will do--lives out her imperilled days. The novel is filled with sharply observed, amusingly distinctive characters...Some may object that Doyle, having perfected a winning formula, is merely writing the same raucous story of small-town Irish life over and over. Well, let them. It's a bloody wonderful story."Doyle, Roddy is the author of 'Woman Who Walked into Doors', published 1997 under ISBN 9780140255126 and ISBN 0140255125.
