The Woman Who Stole My Life

The Woman Who Stole My Life

Marian Keyes2014
Name: Stella Sweeney. Height: average. Recent life events: dramatic. One day, sitting in traffic, married Dublin mum Stella Sweeney attempts a good deed. The resulting car crash changes her life. For she meets a man who wants her telephone number (for the insurance, it turns out). That's okay. She doesn't really like him much anyway (his Range Rover totally banjaxed her car). But in this meeting is born the seed of something which will take Stella thousands of miles from her old life, turning an ordinary woman into a superstar, and, along the way, wrenching her whole family apart. Is this all because of one ill-advised act of goodwill? Was meeting Mr Range Rover destiny or karma? Should she be grateful or hopping mad? For the first time, real, honest-to-goodness happiness is just within her reach. But is Stella Sweeney, Dublin housewife, ready to grasp it? 'Keyes' writing is not just highly entertaining but strangely uplifting and the follow-your-dream philosophy leaves a warm glow. Keyes makes you believe that anybody can do anything if they have the right karma.' 5/5 stars, The Sunday Express 'It's one of those rare books that will swallow up your day without realising it. Romantic and uplifting it won't fail to put a smile on your face. Marian Keyes is back to her best.' The Daily Express 'A modern fairy tale, it's full of Keyes's self-depreciating wit and humour.' The Sunday Mirror 'Top author Marian's latest book is a corker!' The Sun on Sunday, Fabulous Magazine 'Funny and poignant.' Marie Claire 'A warm and hilarious page turner.' Good Housekeeping 'Chick lit with intelligence, this warm and witty novel is perfect for curling up with when it's cold outside.' Candis 'Not only is this a great story with funny, loveable characters, it made me laugh out loud, for goodness sake - something Charlotte Bronte never achieved.' Stylist 'Smart new drama from the awesome Keyes!' Heat 'A welcome return!' Bella 'Full of twists and turns, with warmth and humour on every page.' Closer Praise for Marian Keyes 'Engaging characters, fabulous plotting and spot-on dialogue. Marian Keyes: what a genius.' Daily Mail 'A brilliant, unusual, brave, sexy book.' Jojo Moyes 'Clever, hilarious, poignant.' Sunday Times
