From the Booker Prize-winning author of Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, the heartrending story of a brave and tenacious housewife


Paula Spencer is a thirty-nine-year-old working-class woman struggling to reclaim her dignity after marriage to an abusive husband and a worsening drinking problem.

Capturing both her vulnerability and her strength, Roddy Doyle gives Paula a voice that is real and unforgettable.
