***A GUARDIAN BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN AUTUMN 2021*** A brilliantly
warm, witty and moving portrait of our pandemic lives, told in ten
heart-rending short stories Love and marriage. Children and family.
Death and grief. Life touches everyone the same. But living under
lockdown, it changes us alone. In these ten, beautifully moving
short stories mostly written over the last year, Booker Prize
winner Roddy Doyle paints a collective portrait of our strange
times. A man abroad wanders the stag-and-hen-strewn streets of
Newcastle, 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. Told
with Doyle's signature warmth, wit and extraordinary eye for the
richness that underpins the quiet of our lives, Life Without
Children cuts to the heart of how we are all navigating loss,
loneliness, and the shifting of history underneath our feet. 'Roddy
Doyle is an absolute genius' J.K. Rowling 'The undisputed laureate
of ordinary lives' The Times
