About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Importance of Being Aisling by Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, read by Amy McAllister.

Meet Aisling.
She's a country girl learning to love the city sophistication of unlimited Pinot Greej and brunch, though smashed avocado still mystifies her. She can plan anything, from Secret Santa for her ungrateful colleagues to a hen party for not one but two brides.
But even Aisling is thrown off course when her job and relationship suddenly go up in smoke.
Life in the city was supposed to be glamorous and grown-up, but all at once she's heading home to live with her mother. (Not without a detour to Vegas first - she's unemployed and single, not dead.)
But between making new friends and rivals, and finding her eye caught by a very handsome but very unavailable new man, going home is full of surprises. Could small town life actually hold the answers Aisling is missing?

People can't get enough of Aisling:

'Will have you shedding a tear as well as laughing your socks off' Fabulous

Part of the attraction is being immersed in BGB/Dublin culture & dialect & the other part is how kind & full of heart Aisling is. I am rooting for her all the way through. Hope the series continues.

This is such a delightful listen. Sometimes with an audio-book the story and the narrator's voice can be jarring. It is the opposite with the Aisling audio-books. Amy McAllister is a fantastic narrator, and even though I am an avid reader (and librarian) and love the printed form, I believe this is a better format for these books.
It was the first time I searched for a narrator rather than an author in audible after I had listened to the Aisling series. These audio-books are fab, and a perfect antidote for any worries or stresses at the moment. Very Freakin' Funny

Hilarious lighthearted honest look at life
