Paula Spencer täyttää 48 vuotta. Dublinilaisen siivoojan ruumis on täynnä elämän taisteluhaavoja, mutta hän voi hienosti eikä näytäkään hassummalta. Aviomies on mullan alla, ja lapsista kotona asuvat enää nuorimmat. Viinasta Paula on päässyt eroon, vaikka joka päivä tekee mieli ryyppyä. Kuivilla Paula joutuu havahtumaan todellisuuteen. Mennyt hyökyy aaltoina nykyhetkeen, ja kodin joka esine muistuttaa repaleisen perhe-elämän pettymyksistä ja laiminlyönneistä. Syyllisyys on yksi asioista, joiden kanssa Paulan on tehtävä tiliä samalla, kun hän yrittää saada otteen maailmasta, joka on mennyt kovaa vauhtia eteenpäin Paulan votkanhuuruisina vuosina. Voiton puolella seuraa Paulan ajoittain tragikoomista arkea vuoden ajan. Hänen toimiensa kautta hahmottuu paitsi työläisnaisen muotokuva myös Irlannissa tapahtunut suuri muutos maahanmuuttajineen ja elintason nousuineen. ”Tuskallinen, hauska, humaani romaani: taitavasti kirjoitettu, riippuvuutta aiheuttavan luettava ja niin ammattitaitoinen.” The Times ”Doyle kirjoittaa yhtä osuvasti kuin aina. (…) Paula Spenceristä muodostuu aito ihminen ja Roddy Doyle on päässyt luontevasti ja täysin uskottavasti naisen mielen sisään.” Irish Times

In Chicago, Henry finds a newer America alive with wild, happy music played by a man with a trumpet and bleeding lips called Louis Armstrong. But in a city also owned by the mob, Armstrong is a prisoner of his color. He needs a man--a white man--and the man he chooses is Henry Smart.

Roddy Doyle's acclaimed novel about an intrepid Irishman's years of reckless heroism and adventure - "An extraordinarily entertaining epic." (The Washington Post) Born at the beginning of the twentieth century, Henry Smart lives through the evolution of modern Ireland, and in this extraordinary novel he brilliantly tells his story. From his own birth and childhood on the streets of Dublin to his role as soldier (and lover) in the Irish Rebellion, Henry recounts his early years of reckless heroism and adventure. At once an epic, a love story, and a portrait of Irish history, A Star Called Henry is a grand picaresque novel brimming with both poignant moments and comic ones, and told in a voice that is both quintessentially Irish and inimitably Roddy Doyle's.

Tosi ja kaunistelematon romaani väkivaltaisista miehistä ja väkivaltaisista ajoista. Jalkapuoli murhamies isänä, aliravittu tehtaantyttö äitinä, torakoita kuhiseva huone kotina ja ympärillä rähjäinen Dublin vuonna 1902. Henry Smart on syntynyt, harvinaisen komeana ja terveenä slummilapseksi. Jo viisivuotiaana hän on kadulla oppimassa hengissä säilymisen taitoa, joka on tarpeen Sinn Féinin riveissä. Uraputki on vauhdikas: kerjäläisen apupojasta kapinallissoturiksi, satamajätkäksi ja IRA:n tappajaksi. Kaikki ennen kahtakymmentä ikävuotta. Nimekkäämpien itsenäisyystaistelijoiden taustalla tarvitaan henrysmarteja, luotettavia likaisen työn tekijöitä. Henry on kuin isänsä, turhia kyselemättä hän hoitaa hengiltä ihmisen, jonka nimi annetaan hänelle paperilapulla. Kunnes tulee päivä, jolloin lapulta löytyy hänen oma nimensä.
