Most Popular Books by Marian Keyes

The hilarious, heartwarming new novel from #1 internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes. Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple . . . Anna has a life to envy. An apartment in New York. A well-meaning (too well-meaning?) partner. And a high-flying job in beauty PR. Who wouldn''t want all that? Anna, it turns out. Turning a minor mid-life crisis into a major life event , she switches the skyscrapers of Manhattan for the tiny Irish town of Maumtully (population 1,217), helping old friends Brigit and Colm set up a luxury coastal retreat. Tougher than it sounds. Newsflash: the locals hate the idea. So much so, there have been threats—and violence. Anna, however, worked in the beauty industry. There''s no ugliness she hasn''t seen. No wrinkle she can''t smooth over. There''s just one fly in the ointment: old flame Joey Armstrong. He''s going to be her wingman. Never mind their checkered history. Never mind what might have been. Because no matter how far you go, your mistakes will still be waiting for you.

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.

Every book tells a story . . . And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. Marian Keyes spearheaded a new wave of contemporary women''s fiction, providing wickedly funny tales of twenty- and thirty-somethings living and loving on the edge. No stranger to the road less commonly travelled herself, Marian has also written two collections of tales and observations from her own life. Nothing Bad Ever Happens in Tiffany''s is a small but perfectly formed selection of these.

Isn''t that a marvellous bit of wisdom - "Boys wreck your house and girls wreck your head!" And God knows it''s the truest thing I''ve heard in a long time. I should know. I have five girls.
