Marian Keyes (born 10 September 1963) is an Irish novelist and non-fiction writer, best known for her work in women's literature. She is an Irish Book Awards winner.
Amy O'Connell is living your typical modern life - harried, overfull and totally stressed out (more-than-occasional glasses of wine notwithstanding). Between a husband who has become withdrawn following the death of his father, three girls with various degrees of independence, a high-stress job commuting between Dublin and London, and the distraction of a colleague who may or may not be making moves on her - what's a girl to do? Then Amy's husband announces that he is taking "a break" - six months to go to the other side of the world and "clear his hand". What the everlasting.....?
This is my first Marian Keyes book. The plot for this book just felt flat and I thought there would be humour in it but found none, but nothing really happened. I enjoyed the ending and that it didn't go the way I thought it was going to go. I stuck with this book to the bitter end. It was too long-winded for my liking. Mildly entertaining , but mostly boring and going no where.
