The Barrytown Trilogy by Roddy Doyle
Deals with the Rabbitte family from Barrytown, Dublin. In this title, we follow the rapid rise of Jimmy Rabbitte's soul band, the Commitments, and their equally rapid fall; and Sharon Rabbitte's attempts to keep the identity of her unborn child's father a secret, amid intense speculation from her family and friends.
Mr Doyle has made his own the gritty world of modern Dublin * New York Times *
An absurd comedy of the commonplace…a charming, truthful and immensely funny story which leaves you gasping for more * Sunday Times on THE COMMITMENTS *
Brilliant..it pushes Irish English to wonderful imaginative extremes -- Tom Paulin on THE COMMITMENTS
While recognising that we have all sat po-faced through novels which other people have assured us were hilarious...all I can say is that The Snapper creased me up -- Jonathan Coe on THE SNAPPER
A novel which is often hilarious, always enthralling and - this really is the case - unputdownable * Sunday Times on THE VAN *
