Walsh Family My Favorite Mistake

The hilarious, heartwarming new novel from #1 internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes. Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple . . . Anna has a life to envy. An apartment in New York. A well-meaning ( too well-meaning?) partner. And a high-flying job in beauty PR. Who wouldn't want all that? Anna, it turns out. Turning a minor mid-life crisis into a major life event, she switches the skyscrapers of Manhattan for the tiny Irish town of Maumtully (population 1,217), helping old friends Brigit and Colm set up a luxury coastal retreat. Tougher than it sounds. Newsflash: the locals hate the idea. So much so, there have been threats--and violence. Anna, however, worked in the beauty industry. There's no ugliness she hasn't seen. No wrinkle she can't smooth over. There's just one fly in the ointment: old flame Joey Armstrong. He's going to be her wingman. Never mind their checkered history. Never mind what might have been. >Praise for Marian Keyes - "Keyes is the real thing." -- The Globe and Mail- "Everything this woman touches turns to comic gold." -- Cosmopolitan- "Mercilessly funny." -- The Times (UK)- "Clever, hilarious. . . . Gloriously funny." -- Sunday Times- "Turn[s] out page-turner after page-turner." -- ELLE Canada- "Hands down the funniest writer in the business." --The Irish Times- "Marian Keyes's novels are warm, witty and wise. Even when she's writing about hard-hitting subjects like divorce, depression or alcoholism, she's never preachy or pious." -- The Independent
