The books of May are here—fresh, fierce, and full of feels.
Cathy Kelly
Born in Belfast, Cathy always
wanted to write and after journalism college went to work at the
Sunday World, Ireland's biggest tabloid Sunday newspaper, where
she started in news but went on to become a feature writer, agony aunt,
film critic and columnist.
While still a journalist, she
decided to have a crack at writing a novel. This was Woman to Woman,
which went straight in to the Irish bestseller list and stayed there
for 8 weeks. Once In A Lifetime, her eleventh novel published
in paperback in September 2009 went to No 1 within days of its release.
Her books are international best sellers in Europe, Australia and New
Zealand.
Cathy is also an Ambassador
for UNICEF in Ireland helping to raise awareness of the plight of children
orphaned in Africa through Aids. She currently lives with her partner,
John and six-year-old twin boys in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
