New Releases by Marian Keyes

De Nova York à Irlanda, entre vícios, amores e reencontros: Marian Keyes entrega em Férias! e O fim das férias irresistíveis histórias sobre humor, cura e segundas chances. Férias! Rachel Walsh tem 27 anos e vive em Nova York, onde tudo parece estar no lugar: festas incríveis, um bom emprego e um namorado dos sonhos. Mas, em um piscar de olhos, Rachel perde tudo. Após um colapso que termina em um hospital, sua família a convence a buscar ajuda em uma clínica de reabilitação na Irlanda. Ela acredita que será como um spa: um tempo de descanso com banheira de hidromassagem, academia e celebridades. No entanto, a realidade é outra. Longe da vida agitada que conhece, Rachel é forçada a encarar seus vícios, seus traumas e suas escolhas. Dizer adeus à liberdade e ao homem que ama será mais difícil do que imaginava. Com muito humor, sinceridade e emoção, Férias! é uma história sobre tocar o fundo do poço para, então, encontrar força nas próprias vulnerabilidades. É um retrato envolvente de como abraçar o caos pode ser o primeiro passo para reencontrar o amor – por si mesma e pelos outros. "Prepare-se. Você vai se viciar em Marian Keyes." - The Times O fim das férias Vinte anos se passaram e Rachel parece ter tudo sob controle: é terapeuta na mesma clínica que a salvou, tem um namorado estável, uma família amorosa e até um jardim para cuidar. Mas, quando Luke Costello – seu ex-marido – reaparece na Irlanda após anos de silêncio, memórias dolorosas e verdades não resolvidas vêm à tona. Abalada, Rachel precisa lidar com os sentimentos que pensava ter deixado para trás. E, ao mesmo tempo em que apoia seus pacientes na reabilitação, é obrigada a revisitar as feridas do passado e a confrontar as partes de si mesma que ainda precisam de cura. Com leveza, sensibilidade e seu típico humor afiado, Marian Keyes aborda temas profundos como vício, culpa, luto e perdão. O fim das férias é um romance tocante sobre recomeçar quando tudo parece já ter terminado – e sobre como, às vezes, o amor mais importante é o que temos por nós mesmos. "Lindamente escrito, engraçado, comovente e sempre sábio. Um verdadeiro deleite." – The Sunday Times

Men dessa kvinnor har fått nog. De beslutar sig för att sätta stoppa för hans hänsynslösa framfart. Frågan är om de fyra kvinnorna tillsammans är starka nog att förhindra den stundande katastrofen.

Marian Keyesin riemastuttava romaani rakkaudesta ja keski-iän kriisistä. Amyn aviomies ei aio jättää vaimoaan. Hän vain haluaa tauon. Aikalisän. Mutta mitä Amy haluaa? Hugh ja Amy ovat olleet yhdessä 18 vuotta, ja he ovat kuin mikä tahansa nelikymppinen pariskunta, jolla on paljon töitä ja iso perhe. He rakastavat toisiaan, ehdottomasti. Siksi Amy järkyttyy sydänjuuriaan myöten, kun Hugh ilmoittaa tarvitsevansa aikalisän. Vain kymmenen päivää myöhemmin Hugh on häipynyt, ja Amysta on tullut – niin, mikä? Jos häntä ei suorastaan ole jätetty, niin eikö hänkin ole tauolla? Aikalisä on rehellinen ja riemastuttava romaani siitä, mitä keski-ikä voi tuoda tullessaan: kyyneleitä, luvallista ja luvatonta rakkautta, reppureissausta Aasiassa, hulluja sukulaisia. Marian Keyes on tässä kirjassa parhaimmillaan!

Begleiten Sie Marian Keyes auf eine weitere Reise in die Höhen und Tiefen des Lebens! Zum Beispiel auf eine Hochzeit mit der gesamten Keyes-Sippe nach Italien! Die aber nicht ganz so romantisch ausfällt wie geplant, weil für Iren die wichtigste Frage auf Hochzeiten lautet: "Ab wann schlagen wir uns?". Erfahren Sie den Unterschied zwischen der Theorie des Babysittens (pädagogischer Ausflug, liebevoll bereitetes Vollwertmittagessen, Lernspiele) und der Praxis (McDonald''s und Fernsehglotzen). Und lernen Sie, was die Welt im innersten zusammenhält: Essen, Kosmetika und viel Humor!

Mahdollisuus rakkauteen. Tara, Katherine ja Fintan ovat olleet parhaita ystäviä jo ikuisuuden. Teini-ikäisinä he herättivät pahennusta piskuisessa Knockavoyn kylässä Irlannissa, mutta nyt toilailujen näyttämönä on Lontoo. Kolmikymppisistä kaveruksista vain Fintan on löytänyt todellisen rakkauden, joskin tytöt ovat myös onnellisia, tavallaan.. Taran poikaystävä on kyllä pihi kuin mikä ja ikävän suorapuheinen, mutta eihän kukaan halua yksinkään olla. Sitä paitsi Tara ja Thomas rakastavat toisiaan. Eikö se riitä? Katherine puolestaan elää tasaista ja tyylikästä elämäänsä yhteen sointuvissa alusvaatteissaan, joita kukaan mies ei ikinä näe. Hän on täysin tyytyväinen suhteeseensa kaukosäätimen kanssa - siitä huolimatta, että töissä häntä piirittää upea Joe Roth. Mutta elämällä on takataskussaan muitakin haasteita kuin trendiravintolan ruokalistan kääntäminen selkokielelle. Fintanin vakava sairastuminen saa ystävykset tiukan paikan eteen: onko aika päästää irti vanhoista kaavoista ja ajatella uudella tavalla? Irlantilainen Marian Keyes (s.1963) on tunnetaan ”luvattoman hauskoista” (Sunday Times) romaaneistaan, joissa hän kuvailee, millaista on olla tänä päivänä nainen. Nykykirjallisuuden merkittäväksi feministiksi tituleerattu Keyes on vakaasti sitä mieltä, että huulipuna ja korkokengät eivät tee naisesta idioottia. Ei ihme että häntä niin kovasti rakastetaan ja loputtomiin jäljitellään.

International bestselling author Marian Keyes is back with a hilarious novel about finding the life—and love—you may not have been expecting In her own words, Stella Sweeney is just “an ordinary woman living an ordinary life with her husband and two teenage kids,” working for her sister in their neighborhood beauty salon. Until one day she is struck by a serious illness, landing her in the hospital for months. After recovering, Stella finds out that her neurologist, Dr. Mannix Taylor, has compiled and published a memoir about the illness in Stella’s voice. Her discovery comes when she spots a photo of the finished copy in an American tabloid—and it’s in the hands of the vice president’s wife! As her relationship with Dr. Taylor gets more complicated, Stella struggles to figure out who she was before her illness, who she is now, and who she wants to be while relocating to New York City to pursue a career as a newly minted self-help memoirist. Funny, fast-paced, and honest, Keyes’s latest novel is full of her trademark charm and wisdom and is sure to delight her many fans. Praise for The Woman Who Stole My Life: “[A] brilliantly funny new romance . . . Keyes’s writing is not just highly entertaining but strangely uplifting.” —Sunday Express (London) Praise for Marian Keyes: “Keyes’s witty women, . . . humorous writing style, and uplifting tone have become beloved by readers across the globe.” —Chicago Tribune

Suosikkikirjailijan uusin romaani - viihdyttävä sekoitus kevyttä ja koskettavaa. Kolmekymppisellä Helenillä ei mene kovin hyvin: hän joutuu rahapulan vuoksi luopumaan ihanasta kodistaan ja muuttamaan takaisin vanhempiensa luo. Uusi, kuuma poikaystävä Artie kyllä tuo Helenille lohtua, mutta Artien ex-vaimossa ja kolmessa lapsessa on hiukan sulateltavaa. Ja kun Helen eräänä aamuna luulee taivaalla lentäviä lokkeja korppikotkiksi, on aika myöntää että masennuskin on uusiutunut. Kun ärsyttävä ex-poikaystävä Jay sitten ilmaantuu takaisin kuvioihin ja tarjoaa Helenille töitä yksityisetsivänä, Helen ei voi kieltäytyä. Tehtävänä on löytää Wayne, aiemmin suursuositun poikabändin äkillisesti kadonnut jäsen, sillä comeback-keikka lähestyy mutta bändin outolintua ei näy missään. Tehtävä osoittautuu kimurantiksi ja vie Helenin supertähtien loistokkaaseen mutta vinksahtaneeseen maailmaan. Helen kuitenkin selvittää hankaluudet suorapuheisuuden, sinnikkyyden ja mustan huumorin voimalla. Unohtamatta kunnon lääkitystä. Irlantilainen Marian Keyes (s.1963) kirjoittaa elämänmakuisia romaaneja, joissa kerrotaan humoristisesti ja koskettavasti siitä, millaista on olla nainen. Keyes käsittelee komedian kautta synkkiäkin aiheita kuten depressiota, riippuvuutta tai sairauksia. Omien kokemuksiensa pohjalta hän pitää huumoria hyvänä tapana käsitellä vaikeita asioita silti vähättelemättä niiden aiheuttamaa tuskaa. Feministiksi julistautunut Keyes on vakaasti sitä mieltä, että huulipuna ja korkokengät eivät tee naisesta idioottia.

International bestseller Keyes is back with another quirky, heartwarming story of the Walsh sisters. Written in her classic style and marrying the darker parts of life with humor and wit, this novel is a wonderfully charming look at love here and ever after.

Learn to bake with Britain''s favourite women''s fiction author Marian Keyes, in her startlingly honest cook-book Saved by Cake. Saved by Cake gives an extremely honest account of Marian Keyes'' battle with depression, and how baking has helped her. A complete novice in the kitchen, Marian decided to bake a cake for a friend and that was it - she realised that baking was what she needed to do in order to get her through each day.

With chapters on cupcakes, cheesecakes, meringues and macaroons, chocolate cakes, fruit cakes and favourite classics, Marian''s recipes are aimed firmly at beginner bakers, offering hints and tips to help along the way.

Never patronising, always honest and witty, accessible and full of fun, the bakes and cakes that Marian serves up in this cookbook will put a smile on your face and make you happy. __________ ''Medically speaking, there is no such thing as a nervous breakdown. Which is very annoying to discover when you''re right in the middle of one. Whatever was going on with me, I had to wait it out. I had to find ways of passing the time until I was restored to myself again. So I baked a cake - a chocolate cheesecake, as it happens. And I enjoyed making it so much that I baked another. And another'' Marian Keyes

The fast lane is much too slow for Rachel Walsh. And Manhattan is the perfect place for a young Irish female to overdo everything. But Rachel''s love of a good time is about to land her in the emergency room. It will also cost her a job and the boyfriend she adores. When her loving family hustles her back home and checks her into Ireland''s answer to the Betty Ford Clinic, Rachel is hopeful. Perhaps it will be lovely—spa treatments, celebrities, that kind of thing. Instead, she finds a lot of group therapy, which leads her, against her will, to some important self-knowledge. She will also find something that all women like herself fear: a man who might actually be good for her.

With Tara struggling daily with her eternal diet—and her dreadful, penny-pinching boyfriend—and Katherine keeping her single existence as organized as her drawer full of matching bra and panty sets, it seems they''ll never locate the exit door out of the "last chance saloon." But it''s always when you are least ready for change that fate insists on one. And when catastrophe inevitably follows crisis, the lives of three best friends are sure to change in unexpected ways ... and not necessarily for the worse.

You flew away with Margaret—good girl gone bad—in Angels. You got a peek inside the cutthroat world of women''s fashion magazines in Sushi for Beginners. Now, raise your glass to Tara, Katherine, and Fintan in Last Chance Saloon.
