 Write a review

Written by the same author as "The Commitments", this is another comedy of everyday life in Barrytown, north Dublin. "Snapper" is Barrytown slang for "baby", and the snapper in question has unforeseen effects on Sharon's life and on that of the Rabitte family.

  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Meet the Rabbitte family, motley bunch of loveable ne'er-do-wells whose everyday purgatory is rich with hangovers, dogshit and dirty dishes. When the older sister announces her pregnancy, the family is forced to rally together and discover the strangeness of intimacy. But the question remains: which friend of the family is the father of Sharon's child?

"From the Trade Paperback edition."
