RODDY DOYLE - Love , in hardback , First Edition / Impression published by Jonathan Cape in 2020 . This book is signed by the author - I met Roddy at the Cheltenham Literature Festival .
By the author of The Woman Who Walked Into Doors and The Commitments - this is a stand alone novel . " Two old friends reconnect in Dublin for a dramatic , revealing evening of drinking and storytelling in this winning new novel from the author of the Booker Prize winning Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha . " One summer's evening , two men meet up in a Dublin restaurant . " Drinking pals back in their youth , now married and with grown up children , their lives have taken seemingly similar paths . But Joe has a secret he needs to tell Davy , and Davy has a sorrow he wants to keep from Joe . Both are not the men they used to be . " Joe has left his wife and family for another woman , Jessica . Davy knows her too , or should - she was the girl of their dreams four decades earlier , the girl with the cello in George's pub . As Joe's story unfolds across Dublin - pint after pint , pub after pub - so too do the memories of what eventually drove Davy from Ireland : his first encounter with Faye , the lively woman who would become his wife ; his father's sombre disapproval ; the pained spaces left behind when a parent dies . " As the two friends try to reconcile their versions of the past over the course of one night , Love offers a delightfully comic yet moving portrait of the many forms love can take throughout our lives . " About Roddy Doyle Roddy Doyle is the author of a number of novels , including Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha , for which he won the 1993 Booker Prize , and The Woman Who Walked into Doors . He lives in Dublin . Very good condition - some slight creasing to the dust jacket - quite a nice copy .
