But Joe has a secret he needs to tell Davy, and Davy has a sorrow he wants to keep from Joe. Both are not the men they used to be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoe has left his wife and family for another woman, Jessica. Davy knows her too, or should - she was the girl of their dreams four decades earlier, the girl with the cello in George's pub. As Joe's story unfolds across Dublin - pint after pint, pub after pub - so too do the memories of what eventually drove Davy from Ireland: his first encounter with Faye, the lively woman who would become his wife; his father's somber disapproval; the pained spaces left behind when a parent dies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the two friends try to reconcile their versions of the past over the course of one night, \u003ci\u003eLove\u003c\/i\u003e offers a delightfully comic yet moving portrait of the many forms love can take throughout our lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoddy Doyle\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Dublin in 1958.
