A Novel

Rules of the Road

When Grace O'Brien wakes up next to Bernard-from-IT, she blames the out-of-date bottle of Baileys for making her cheat on her boyfriend of one year, nine months, three weeks and six days. But then she finds she can't get Bernard - geeky dress sense, red hair and all - out of her mind. It gets worse when Grace's best friend falls in love with a blind date - Bernard. Somehow Grace can't help feeling that she's to blame for all this mess. She usually is, after all ...

Saving Grace

Alles in het leven van Scarlett verloopt op rolletjes. Dat wil zeggen, tot nu toe. Want Scarlett is weer terug in haar ouderlijk huis, haar plannen liggen in duigen en er is een baby op komst. En dat terwijl John, haar volwassen (nou ja?) vriendje haar heeft verlaten om als archeoloog te gaan werken in een Braziliaans dorp. Maar het wordt nog erger, want Scarlett weet niet zeker wie de vader van de baby is. (Al heeft ze in haar hele 35-jarige leven maar met 4 1⁄2 man geslapen, om precies te zijn.) Ze besluit zich op haar baan als huwelijksplanner te storten, hoewel ook dat niet echt soepel verloopt. Ze krijgt gevoelens voor haar grootste klant, de toekomstige echtgenoot van iemand anders...

Uit het leven van Scarlett

Scarlett is brilliant at organising - from her family to her job as a wedding planner, she loves the feeling of having things under control. Except that suddenly, things are slipping out of her hands - like the fact that her boyfriend, always so reliable, has suddenly taken himself off travelling. And that after a one-night stand, she discovers that she's pregnant...

Becoming Scarlett

Roman

Das Leben ist zu kurz für irgendwann

Dara Flood always says the most interesting thing about her life happened before she was born. Thirteen days before she came into the world, her father walked up the road and never came back. Now in her twenties, she lives a quiet life with her mother and sister Angel and works at the local dog pound - she finds dogs much easier to understand than people. But when Angel gets sick and neither Dara nor her mother is a match for the kidney she desperately needs, Dara knows she will do anything to save Angel - even track down the man who left them behind. So with the help of a rather surprising private investigator, Dara steps anxiously in to the big wide world with a dream of finding Mr Flood. But as you know, following your dreams can lead you to unexpected places . . .

Finding Mr Flood

Kat Kavanagh is not in love. She has lots of friends, an ordinary job, and she never ever thinks about her past. This is Kat's story. None of it is true. Milo McIntyre loves his mam, the peanut-butter-and-banana muffins at the Funky Banana café, and the lifesaving class he does after school. He never thinks about his future, until the day it changes forever. This is Milo's story. All of it is true. And then there is the other story. The one with a twist of fate which somehow brings together a boy from Brighton and a woman in Dublin, and uncovers the truth once and for all. This is the story that's just about to begin . . .

Lifesaving for Beginners

Ciara Geraghty's writing has that rare ability to make you laugh out loud as well as cry. She combines tangled human relationships with humour, romance and warmth to create something truly special.

Make Yourself at Home

Zwei Leben. Zwei Wahrheiten. Zwei Entscheidungen. Kat, 39, ist nicht verliebt. Sie hat eine Menge Freunde, einen gewöhnlichen Job, und sie denkt niemals über ihre Vergangenheit nach. Das ist Kats Geschichte. Nichts davon ist wahr. Milo, 9, liebt seine Mum, Bananenmuffins und seinen Erste-Hilfe-Kurs. Er denkt nie über seine Zukunft nach. Das ist Milos Geschichte. Alles davon ist wahr. Und es gibt noch eine andere Geschichte, eine, bei der die Lebenswege eines Jungen aus Brighton und einer Frau aus Dublin sich durch eine Laune des Schicksals kreuzen und alles auf den Kopf stellen. Dies ist die Geschichte, die gerade erst beginnt ...

Einmal und für immer

An ordinary day. An ordinary bank. An ordinary street in an ordinary town. Nothing ever happens, until, one day, a shocking robbery turns life upside down for five people. Honest and wise, poignant and warm, this is completely absorbing storytelling for fans of Marian Keyes and Jojo Moyes. Afterwards . . . The first thing Martha thinks about is having a drink. There are six reasons why she shouldn't; she wrote them down over a year ago. Two of the reasons are the same. A name. Of someone she didn't think she'd ever see again. Roman, a fourteen-year-old Polish immigrant, is on the run. From the police. From Jimmy and his gang. He understands now, what it means to be caught between a rock and a hard place. Tobias, old and alone, lies in a hospital bed in Dublin where the memories in Dresden are insistent visitors. And for Cillian, a police detective, the past is like a current, pulling him back, reminding him of all he'd had. All he'd lost. Each of the four is running from the moments that brought them here. To a place where the past cannot be undone and the future cannot be known. A place called now.

Kat Kavanagh heeft veel vrienden, een gewoon baantje en denkt nooit meer aan het verleden. Dat is haar verhaal. Maar is dat wel waar? Milo McIntyre houdt van zijn moeder, van de pindakaasbananenmuffins in het Funky Banana café, en van de EHBO-lessen die hij na schooltijd volgt. Hij denkt nooit aan zijn toekomst, tot de dag dat alles voorgoed verandert. Dit is het verhaal van Milo. Maar dan is er nog dat andere verhaal. Het verhaal waarin het noodlot toeslaat en Milo en Kat door een dramatisch auto-ongeluk samenbrengt. Zo komt een diep verborgen familiegeheim voor eens en voor altijd boven tafel.
