Critic reviews

"A born storyteller." ( Independent on Sunday)
When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think; Keyes is in a class of her own." ( Daily Express)
All stars

I’m a 64 year man, former car racer and still a biker - just checked my shelves and Marion’s first seven books are there in a row.
This book is noticeably different from those wonderful, sometimes uneven, always deeply insightful and uniformly joyously mad tales.
For me this is the best, most mature piece of storytelling she has done - I had a little weep of joy as it ended.

Best Marion Keyes for years

Marian Keyes tells an unusual tale about relationships, and family life in her own quirky style. Heart warming, touching & funny. I loved it x

Excellently narrated with attractive Irish accent. In spite of the length of the novel this kept me interested right to the end. Funny and thought provoking
