The Woman Who Walked Into Doors

Roddy Doyle

Seán read this book after reading Doyle's earlier works. He found that the book succeeded completely in putting him inside a violently abused woman's mind - understanding why she stayed with her appalling husband, the loss she felt when he died, her inability to escape from him and even the status she felt was hers because of being married to him. The book convincingly explores how and why this woman put up with what ought to be a completely intolerable situation.
