![]() ![]() Imelda, the most desirable Commitmentette, is still turning heads in middle age. Only two other Commitments make significant appearances in Doyle’s latest. While Jimmy endures his treatments, he must also contend with a tanking Irish economy that is drying up jobs (and potential music sales) his kids, who act out as they struggle with their dad’s diagnosis and the Pope’s scheduled visit to Ireland, which Jimmy is sure he can find a way to make money on. When Jimmy is diagnosed with bowel cancer, however, he finds himself suddenly reevaluating his life, his decisions, and his legacy. He’s still kicking around Dublin, married, with four kids, and working as a reasonably successful promoter of nostalgia bands-one-hit wonders that have been generally forgotten. Jimmy Rabbitte-last seen as the brash, young manager of the Commitments-is now middle-aged. Booker Prize–winner Doyle returns with this hilarious and tender pseudo-sequel to The Commitments. ![]()
