Davy rarely sees Joe for a pint anymore--maybe one or two when Davy comes over from England to check on his elderly father.

Davy knows her too, or should--she was the girl of their dreams four decades earlier, the girl with the cello in George's pub. As Joe's story unfolds across Dublin--pint after pint, pub after pub--so too do the memories of what eventually drove Davy from Ireland: the upheaval that Faye, his feisty, profane wife, would bring into his life; his father's somber disapproval; the pained spaces left behind when a parent dies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs much a hymn to the Dublin of old as a delightfully comic yet moving portrait of what it means to try to put into words the many forms that love can take, \u003ci\u003eLove\u003c\/i\u003e marks a triumphant new turn for Roddy Doyle.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49871651045649,"sku":"CIN1984880454G","price":3.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49946899841297,"sku":"GOR011917935","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49988867817745,"sku":"GOR013338035","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50282280648977,"sku":"CIN1984880454VG","price":4.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1984880454.jpg?v=1751447171","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/love-book-roddy-doyle-9781984880451","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
