Rezension zu „The Woman Who Walked Into Doors “
"In feeling the pulse of a raw Dublin suburb, Doyle is recording a beat that can be recognised all over the world" The Times "This new novel is Roddy Doyle's best to date. I cannot recall any writer who has better captured the vulnerability and courage of a woman trapped in a loveless marriage" Cork Examiner "Even more mesmerizing than his prize-winning Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" Daily Mail "Impassioned, dignified and richly humane" Independent "It is the triumph of this novel that Doyle - entirely without condescension - shows the inner life of this battered housewife to be the same stuff as that of the heroes of the great novels of Europe" -- Mary Gordon New York Times Book Review
