Bookseller
I read a short story in a magazine one afternoon in September 1993, and out of the blue I got an urge to write myself.
Cambridge Evening News
Petitie and with stunning long dark hair, Marion is on a high, referring to her well-earned success as a fairytale.
Evening Post
It's unreal! It's the most fabulous feeling in the whole universe! It blows me over, it really, really does.
Evening Standard
Keyes is a brave woman and gets braver every day. A year ago she married Tony, who is "gorgeous and sexy and never dull." And he is a great support.
Glasgow Herald
She is as Irish as Riverdance, all tumbling black hair, blue eyes, and milk-white skin.
Irish News

Irish Post
Petite, demure and soft-voiced, Marian Keyes does not look or sound like a hell-raiser, even a reformed one.
The Irish Times
hate Aga sagas. I think it's perfectly possible to be a mass market writer and still write books that do not insult people's intelligence.
Nottingham Evening Post
From the minute I wake up I start working. It's the only way I can do it, because I have such - and a lot of writers say this - I have such terrible fears that this will the day when it finally runs out on me. I feel that if I start straight away it doesn't give the fear time to get a hold.
Sunday Times
Everything turned around once I stopped drinking.
The Southern Daily Echo

U
The prospect of churning out books year in, year out isn't one which Marian finds particularly daunting.
