LIFE WITHOUT CHILDREN - RODDY DOYLE KARTONIERT ...

***A GUARDIAN BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS AUTUMN*** 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. 'A
quietly devastating collection of short stories that brilliantly portrays the pervasive sense
of hopelessness that immobilised us during the dog days of Covid' Sunday Times
