Sharon Rabbitte is expecting a baby, but as her pregnancy forces the ramshackle Rabbitte family to pull together, will she reveal who is the father?

But the question remains—which friend of the family is the fat…

Critics Review

A superb creation, exploding with cheerful chauvinism and black Celtic humour… You finish the book, hungry for more * The Times *
While recognising that we have all sat po-faced through novels which other people have assured us are hilarious… all I can say is that The Snapper creased me up * Guardian *
Not since I first delved into Flann O’Brian have I so consistently laughed out loud while reading a book * Sunday Tribune *
