The Snapper
Twenty-year-old Sharon Rabbitte tells her family she is pregnant and will not say who the father is, and her father, who has never in his life thought about any of it, has to decide what he feels while the pubs of Barrytown decide for him. A house holding six children, a rumour that will not stay put and a name nobody wants said out loud. Second of the Barrytown books, and the one that turned Jimmy senior into the family's centre.
