An extraordinary story about an ordinary life. --People n n Brilliant. --The New Yorker n n Meet the eponymous and iconic Irishwoman Paula Spencer in this intimate exploration of recovery and motherhood, by Roddy Doyle, Booker Prize-winning author of The Women Behind the Door n n Its been four months and five days since Paula Spencer last had a drink--shes counted. Its been ten years since her husband Charlo died--shes counted that too. Shes tried to quit before, but this time it will stick--shes sure of it. n As Paula relearns how to be herself again, she must also relearn how to be a mother--to Nicola, already an adult, who still checks Paulas pantry for bottles every time she visits; to John Paul, who has built an entire life without Paula in it; to Leanne, who seems to be headed down the same path of self-destruction Paula just left; and to Jack, the baby, the only one shes managed to do right by, so far. Things in Ireland are changing, and Paula is doing everything she can to change too. n n Told with the unmistakable wit of Doyles unique voice, Paulas dogged struggle for sobriety is a redemptive tale of a brave and tenacious woman, as real as realism gets (Atlanta Journal-Constitution). If you met Paula in The Woman Who Walked Into Doors, youll be eager to see where she is ten years on; if you havent yet, youll feel lucky to connect with her in this book and its successor, The Women Behind the Door.n
