Even more mesmerizing than his prize-winning Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha
Daily Mail
His best work yet
The Times
Impassioned, dignified and richly humane
Independent
In feeling the pulse of a raw Dublin suburb, Doyle is recording a beat that can be recognised all over the world
The Times
It is the triumph of this novel that Doyle - entirely without condescension - shows the inner life of this battered housewife to be the same stuff as that of the heroes of the great novels of Europe
Mary Gordon, New York Times Book Review
Paula Spencer may be Doyle's most successful literary creation yet, a tour de force of literary ventriloquism that gives the lie to the old writing workshop canard that a man can't write from the point of view of a woman, let alone in her voice
Washington Post
Roddy Doyle's unsparing examination of a brutal marriage transcends the boundaries of class and nationhood
The Times
This new novel is Roddy Doyle's best to date. I cannot recall any writer who has better captured the vulnerability and courage of a woman trapped in a loveless marriage
Cork Examiner
