'Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha',Roddy Doyle's last novel (then 1996),won the 1993 Booker Prize and went on to become a phenomenal international bestseller.'The Woman Who Walked Into Doors' is his finest achievement to date,the heart-rending story of a woman struggling to reclaim her
dignity after a violent,abusive marriage and a worsening drink problem.Paula Spencer recalls her contented childhood,the audacity she learns as a teenager,the exhilaration of her romance with Charlo,and the marriage to him that left her powerless.
Capturing both her vulnerability and her
strength,Doyle gives Paula a voice that is
real and unforgettable.
Lean and sexy,funny and poignant,'The Woman Who Walked Into Doors',shows,yet again,that Roddy Doyle has an unparalleled gift for transforming ordinary life into great literature.
