Sushi for Beginners

'Dammit,' she realized. 'I think I'm having a nervous breakdown.'

Lisa Edwards' career as a hot-shot magazine editor is destined for high-rise New York, when suddenly she's blown off-course into the delights of low-rise Dublin. But what on earth can she do about it? Ashling Kennedy, Lisa's super-organized assistant, is good at worrying. Too good. She's even terrified of a little bit of raw fish . . .Clodagh Kelly is Ashling's best friend and has done everything right: beautiful kids and a husband come prince - everything in fact that Ashling has ever wanted. She should be happy. But she isn't.

Three women on the verge of happiness and even closer to a complete breakdown . . .Which way will they fall?

'Keyes has given romantic comedy a much-needed face-lift. Chatty and warmhearted, Keyes's talent is to tell it how it is' Independent

I loved reading this book years ago so I was really excited to revisit it! Although the book itself is amazing I couldn't help but cringe immensely at the reader! I'm Irish and have heard first hand in many occasions the accents expected of the characters in this book! This has to be the worst experience of Irish accents I have ever had! completely cringe worthy!

Amazing book- narration was awful!

not the marrators fault, but they try doing Irish accents and they really can't at all. really hope Audible rerecords this one as I love the story but find it difficult to listen to.

Great story awful narrator

The narrator failed to to do one convincing Irish accent. Half the time sounding like an extra in the Archers.
Nearly spoilt an entertaining book

worst Irish accents ever

Marian Keyes is an Irish writer and so I expected it to be narrated by an Irish author. The English accented author didn’t bring it alive for me, her Irish accents were unconvincing and I was really disappointed.

Accents were terrible!

Only because I have loved Marian Keyes did I persevere with this book. The Irish accent of Juanita is appalling ...painful and seems to swing between bad Irish to bad Liverpudlian to bad Glaswegian and sometimes bad Welsh and Pakistani accent. Never a decent Irish accent. Sad because it’s a fun book
If you have no idea what an Irish accent sounds like you’ll enjoy this book

Horrendous narration
