Heat
We think we'll go into mourning when Marian runs out of Walsh sisters. First, there was Claire, then there was Rachel, after that came Maggie, and now we meet Anna, leaving only bonkers Helen. Helen does feature
A lot in this book, providing the laughs where Anna brings (mostly) the tears. Without giving too much away, let us explain: Anna is a physical and mental wreck. She's left New York behind and is seeking solace with her mad family in Dublin. But she's desperate to return to Manhattan in search of a husband who seems to have disappeared. The words hilarious and heartbreaking are bandied around a lot in reviews, but never have they been more apt than when used to describe Marian Keyes' novels. It takes real talent to make a reader laugh and cry, but Marian's a genius at tapping into the two emotions, and you will do both, while the story will stay with you long after you've read the last page. *****
