Marian Keyes about Irish beautician Stella Sweeney who falls
ill, falls in love, then falls into a glamorous new life in
New York City. When her dream life is threatened, will she
rally to reclaim love and happiness?
In her own
words, Stella Sweeney is just “an ordinary woman living an
ordinary life with her husband and two teenage kids,”
working for her sister in their neighborhood beauty salon.
Until one day she is struck by a serious illness, landing
her in the hospital for months.
After recovering,
Stella finds out that her neurologist, Dr. Mannix Taylor,
has compiled and self-published a memoir about her illness.
Her discovery comes when she spots a photo of the finished
copy in an American tabloid—and it’s in the hands of the
vice president’s wife! As her relationship with Dr. Taylor
gets more complicated, Stella struggles to figure out who
she was before her illness, who she is now, and who she
wants to be while relocating to New York City to pursue a
career as a newly minted self-help memoirist.
Funny,
fast-paced, and honest, Keyes’s latest novel is full of her
trademark charm and wisdom and is sure to delight her many fans.
