"For his many devoted readers comes the first collection of short stories from Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle. For the past few years Doyle has written stories for "Metro Eireann," a magazine by and for immigrants to Ireland. Each of the stories takes a new slant on the immigration experience, something of increasing relevance and importance in Ireland today. "Like all great comic writers, Roddy Doyle has become an explorer of the deepest places of the heart, of love, and pain and loss." THE IRISH TIMES."--Publisher.
