In these ten beautifully moving short stories written mostly over the last year, Roddy Doyle paints a collective portrait of our strange times. A man abroad wanders the streets, as news of the virus at home asks him to question his next move. An exhausted nurse struggles to let go, having lost a much-loved patient in isolation. A middle-aged son, barred from his mother's funeral, wakes to an oncoming hangover of regret. Life Without Children cuts to the heart of how we are all navigating loss, loneliness, and the shifting of history underneath our feet"-- |c Adapted from dust jacket flap. | ||
