Summary:
"Dublin playwright Doyle's first novel, "The Commitments", told the story of Jimmy Rabbitte Jr.'s formation of Ireland's first soul band and went on to become a popular film. This volume continues the saga of the Rabbitte family in the mythic working-class Dublin neighborhood of Barrytown. The
Snapper
concerns the unplanned pregnancy of the eldest daughter, delineating nine months of sparring between Sharon, who refuses to reveal the baby's father, and Jimmy Sr., the clan's vulgar, witty patriarch. Among its many other virtues, it offers a sensitive fictional narrative of pregnancy."--Library Journal.
