Hugely successful bestselling Irish author – and GNI contributor – Marian Keyes has a new book out – and we are all rushing to the bookshop to grab ourselves a copy. Marian’s books are always so funny, moving, heartfelt and just brilliant and this one looks to be no different. My Favourite Mistake is something I think all of us can relate to…
About My Favourite Mistake:
Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple…
Anna has a life to envy. An apartment in NY, 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 bins the lot, heads back to Ireland gets a PR job for a super high-end coastal retreat.
Tougher than it sounds – the locals hate it, so much so there are have been threats and violence. Anna worked in the beauty industry, and there’s no ugliness she hasn’t seen, or no wrinkles she can’t smooth over… Until she discovers that leaving New York doesn’t mean escaping her mistakes.
Once upon a time she’d had a best friend. Once upon a time she’d loved a man. Now she has neither and now she has to face them. We all make mistakes, but when do we stop making the same one over and over again?
Daisy Buchanan says of My Favourite Mistake; ’Furiously funny and stealthily profound. There’s so much depth, but reading it made me feel happier and lighter than I have in ages – it’s sexy, smart, wise, touching and fun.’
