Bella Famiglia! (The Snapper)

The social and cultural backdrop plays a huge role in the story’s humor and heart. I'm curious whether Doyle drew from personal experience or research.

The book had me laughing out loud but also made me think about family and identity. I wonder if that contrast was something Doyle aimed for intentionally.

The characters' Irish dialects and mannerisms felt so real, making me wonder about the process behind capturing that linguistic flavor.
