About This Item
Secker & Warburg.London.,1990. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. Fine full colour dustwrapper with design by Chris Shamwana and illustration by Gretta Kool. A small mark to the rear board otherwise a near fine, bright copy in publishers orange boards, lettered in black to spine. Mild browning to the pages of the first gathering (not uncommon in this title), but still overall a near fine copy of this elusive title, the second in the Barrytown trilogy.:
Synopsis
Twenty-year-old Sharon Rabbitte is pregnant. She's also unmarried, living at home, working in a grocery store, and keeping the father's identity a secret. Her own father, Jimmy Sr., is shocked by the news. Her mother says very little. Her friends and neighbors all want to know whose "snapper" Sharon is carrying. In his sparkling second novel, Roddy Doyle observes the progression of Sharon's pregnancy and its impact on the Rabbitte family—especially on Jimmy Sr.—with wit, candor, and surprising authenticity.
