Review
"Roddy Doyle's unsparing examination of a brutal marriage transcends the boundaries of class and nationhood."
-"The Times"
"Paula Spencer may be Doyle's most successful literary creation yet, a tour de force of literary ventriloquism that gives the lie to the old writing workshop canard that a man can't write from the point of view of a woman, let alone in her voice."
