This week in Reading Ireland Month, it is Contemporary Novel week and I will be reviewing four recent books from Ireland and Northern Ireland throughout the coming days.

However, to kick off the week in style, I am hosting a giveaway and the chance for one lucky person to win a hardback copy of the new Roddy Doyle novel – Charlie Savage.

Not only that, it is signed by the man himself!

Meet Charlie Savage: a middle-aged Dubliner with an indefatigable wife, an exasperated daughter, a drinking buddy who’s realised that he’s been a woman all along….

Charlie Savage compiles a year’s worth of Roddy Doyle’s hilarious series for the Irish Independent. Giving a unique voice to the everyday, he draws a portrait of a ma – funny, loyal and somewhat bewildered – trying to keep pace with the modern world (if his knees don’t give out first).

 To enter the giveaway, just comment below and tell me your favourite recent novel – that’s all!

I will post internationally and will announce the winner, drawn by Rafflecopter, on Sunday.

Charlie Savage is not published until March 7^th so the book will be posted to the winner after that date.

Good luck!
