Ring Road by Ian Sansom
Ian Sansom's sharply observed tale of small town life in Ireland opens with the return of Big Davey Jones. Jones is a local hero because he is the seventh son of a seventh son. His miracle birth brought fame to the town for which the good citizens have always been grateful.
Praise for The Truth About Babies by Ian Sansom:'A sensitive and unique meditation which is as much about the transformation wrought upon his own life as about his baby' The Times'A true and beautiful book.. Every new parent should have a copy for their journey through that first year' Guardian'Funny, brave, touching and true: the exhaustion, shock and queasy compromise of new parenthood are evoked by Sansom with terrifying honesty -- but all parents everywhere will recognise that it's really a book about love'. Julie Myerson'For those who have waded through shelves of works by psychologists and pediatricians and would like a profoundly funny and wise book on the subject, The Truth About Babies is one of the most interesting and literate meditations available.' The Los Angeles Times
Ian Sansom reviews regularly for the Guardian and the London Review of Books. His first book, The Truth About Babies, was published by Granta in 2002.
