Zusammenfassung:"Roddy Doyle's beautifully wrought tale revisits the Dublin housewife-heroine of his earlier acclaimed novel The Woman Who Walked Into Doors. Paula is now forty-seven, her abusive husband is long dead, and it's been four months and five days since she's had a drink. She cleans offices to get by and lives from paycheck to paycheck. But as she manages to get through each day sober, she begins to piece her life back together and to resurrect her family. Told with the unmistakable wit of Doyle's extraordinary voice, this is a redemptive tale about a brave and tenacious woman. " From the bookjacket.
