Jimmy Rabbitte is back. He's 47, with a loving family... and bowel cancer. This long-awaited sequel to THE COMMITMENTS is a novel about facing death and opting for life. It climaxes with four middle-aged men at Ireland's hottest rock festival watching Jimmy's son's band pretending to be Bulgarian and playing a song that hasn't been heard since 1932. Why? You'll have to read THE GUTS to find out.
