Résumé

'A magnificent achievement' Guardian 'Roddy Doyle has done the impossible- he has made Paula Spencer even more unforgettable the second time round' The Times When we first met Paula Spencer- in The Woman Who Walked into Doors-she was thirty-nine, recently widowed, an alcoholic struggling to hold her family together. Paula Spencer begins on the eve of Paula's forty-eight birthday. She hasn't had a drink for four months and five days. Her youngest children, Jack and Leanne, are still living with her. They're grand kids, but she worries about Leanne. Paula still works as a cleaner, but all the others doing the job now seem to come from Eastern Europe, and the checkout girls in the supermarket are Nigerian. You can get a cappuccino in the café, and her sister Carmel is thinking of buying a holiday home in Bulgaria. Paula Spencer is brave, tenacious and very funny. The novel that bears her name is another triumph for Roddy Doyle. 'A marvellous novel' Carmen callil, Financial Times
