New Releases by Marian Keyes

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. Because no matter how far you go, your mistakes will still be waiting for you.

Casey-ék egy elbűvölő család. Johnny Casey, a két fivére, Ed és Liam, gyönyörű, tehetséges feleségeik és az összes gyermekük sülve-főve együtt vannak. Születésnapi partik, házassági évfordulók, hétvégi kiruccanások...egy nagy, boldog család. Johnny felesége, Jessie, akinek a legtöbb pénze van, legalább is váltig ezt állítja. A felszín alatt azonban már nem ilyen idilli a helyzet: egyesek közt ellentétek feszülnek, mások a kelleténél jobban kedvelik egymást... A családi békét sikerül megőrizni, míg Ed felesége, Cara agyrázkódást nem szenved, és ezért nem tudja magában tartani a gondolatait. Elég egy meggondolatlan megjegyzés Johnny születésnapján, ahol jelen van az egész család, és Cara megszellőzteti az összes családi titkot. Az ezt követő tisztázás során minden felnőtt azon töpreng, nincs-e itt az ideje, hogy - végre - felnőjenek? A Felnőttek egy új, szenzációsan szórakoztató , megható és hangos nevetésre fakasztó regény Marian Keyes tollából. "Minden szavát imádtam. Még heteken át fognak hiányozni ezek a csodálatos, eleven karakterek!" - Liane Moriarty, a Hatalmas kis hazugságok írónője "Zűrzavaros, egymásba gabalyodott, összetett sorsok, melyek eszembe juttatták, hogy csak nagyon kevés ember teszi valaha is rendbe az életét" - Jojo Moyes, a Mielőtt megismertelek írónője

Marian Keyes är tillbaka med den efterlängtade uppföljaren till En oväntad semester! 25 år har gått sedan vi träffade Rachel Walsh senast. Då var hennes liv en enda röra. Men ett livsavgörande beslut får hennes liv att ta en helt ny riktning och nu har hon ett tryggt arbete som behandlingsterapeut, radhus, trädgård och en ny kärlek. Plus en bullrig familj som inte drar sig för att lägga sig i minsta beslut. När Rachel får ett oväntat samtal som leder till att hon plötsligt står öga mot öga med sitt livs kärlek skakas hennes trygga tillvaro om rejält. Hon, som trodde att allt gick enligt plan och skulle fortsätta att göra det för alltid, inser att det inte spelar någon roll hur gammal man är, livet kan alltid förändras och ta nya, oväntade vändningar.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER "It will break your heart and nourish your soul. . . . Her finest novel yet." —Nigella Lawson From internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes comes the eagerly awaited sequel to Rachel''s Holiday. Prepare to laugh and cry by turns with Rachel and the Walsh family. Back in the long ago nineties, Rachel Walsh was a mess. But a spell in rehab transformed everything. Life became very good, very quickly. These days, Rachel has love, family, a great job as an addiction counsellor, she even gardens. Her only bad habit is a fondness for expensive sneakers. But with the sudden reappearance of a man she''d once loved, her life wobbles. She''d thought she was settled. Fixed forever. Is she about to discover that no matter what our age, everything can change? Is it time to think again, Rachel?

Elämänmakuinen Kuuleeko kukaan? on yhtä aikaa koskettava ja täynnä huumoria. Anna Walsh makaa pahoin loukkaantuneena vanhempiensa sohvalla Dublinissa. Hänen mielessään on vain yksi ajatus – päästä takaisin New Yorkiin. New Yorkissa ovat hänen ystävänsä, Maailman Paras TyöpaikkaTM sekä se kaikkein tärkein, hänen miehensä Aidan. Mutta mikään Annan elämässä ei ole enää niin yksinkertaista... Paluuta Manhattanille hankaloittavat Annan sekä fyysiset että henkiset arvet ja se tosiseikka, että Aidan on tehnyt katoamistempun. Onko Annan aika siirtyä eteenpäin, ja pystyykö hän siihen? Järisyttävä paljastus Aidanin menneisyydestä antaa Annalle ajattelemisen aihetta ja muuttaa hänen elämänsä lopullisesti. Irlantilainen Marian Keyes (s.1963) kirjoittaa elämänmakuisia romaaneja, joissa kerrotaan humoristisesti siitä, millaista on olla nainen. Feministiksi julistautunut Keyes on vakaasti sitä mieltä, että huulipuna ja korkokengät eivät tee naisesta idioottia.

Marian Keyesin riemastuttava romaani rakkaudesta ja keski-iän kriisistä. Amyn aviomies ei aio jättää vaimoaan. Hän vain haluaa tauon. Aikalisän. Mutta mitä Amy haluaa? Hugh ja Amy ovat olleet yhdessä 18 vuotta, ja he ovat kuin mikä tahansa nelikymppinen pariskunta, jolla on paljon töitä ja iso perhe. He rakastavat toisiaan, ehdottomasti. Siksi Amy järkyttyy sydänjuuriaan myöten, kun Hugh ilmoittaa tarvitsevansa aikalisän. Vain kymmenen päivää myöhemmin Hugh on häipynyt, ja Amysta on tullut – niin, mikä? Jos häntä ei suorastaan ole jätetty, niin eikö hänkin ole tauolla? Aikalisä on rehellinen ja riemastuttava romaani siitä, mitä keski-ikä voi tuoda tullessaan: kyyneleitä, luvallista ja luvatonta rakkautta, reppureissausta Aasiassa, hulluja sukulaisia. Marian Keyes on tässä kirjassa parhaimmillaan!

Begleiten Sie Marian Keyes auf eine weitere Reise in die Höhen und Tiefen des Lebens! Zum Beispiel auf eine Hochzeit mit der gesamten Keyes-Sippe nach Italien! Die aber nicht ganz so romantisch ausfällt wie geplant, weil für Iren die wichtigste Frage auf Hochzeiten lautet: "Ab wann schlagen wir uns?". Erfahren Sie den Unterschied zwischen der Theorie des Babysittens (pädagogischer Ausflug, liebevoll bereitetes Vollwertmittagessen, Lernspiele) und der Praxis (McDonald''s und Fernsehglotzen). Und lernen Sie, was die Welt im innersten zusammenhält: Essen, Kosmetika und viel Humor!

Mahdollisuus rakkauteen. Tara, Katherine ja Fintan ovat olleet parhaita ystäviä jo ikuisuuden. Teini-ikäisinä he herättivät pahennusta piskuisessa Knockavoyn kylässä Irlannissa, mutta nyt toilailujen näyttämönä on Lontoo. Kolmikymppisistä kaveruksista vain Fintan on löytänyt todellisen rakkauden, joskin tytöt ovat myös onnellisia, tavallaan.. Taran poikaystävä on kyllä pihi kuin mikä ja ikävän suorapuheinen, mutta eihän kukaan halua yksinkään olla. Sitä paitsi Tara ja Thomas rakastavat toisiaan. Eikö se riitä? Katherine puolestaan elää tasaista ja tyylikästä elämäänsä yhteen sointuvissa alusvaatteissaan, joita kukaan mies ei ikinä näe. Hän on täysin tyytyväinen suhteeseensa kaukosäätimen kanssa - siitä huolimatta, että töissä häntä piirittää upea Joe Roth. Mutta elämällä on takataskussaan muitakin haasteita kuin trendiravintolan ruokalistan kääntäminen selkokielelle. Fintanin vakava sairastuminen saa ystävykset tiukan paikan eteen: onko aika päästää irti vanhoista kaavoista ja ajatella uudella tavalla? Irlantilainen Marian Keyes (s.1963) on tunnetaan ”luvattoman hauskoista” (Sunday Times) romaaneistaan, joissa hän kuvailee, millaista on olla tänä päivänä nainen. Nykykirjallisuuden merkittäväksi feministiksi tituleerattu Keyes on vakaasti sitä mieltä, että huulipuna ja korkokengät eivät tee naisesta idioottia. Ei ihme että häntä niin kovasti rakastetaan ja loputtomiin jäljitellään.

Helen Walsh não vive um bom momento. O trabalho como detetive particular não vai bem, o apartamento foi tomado por falta de pagamento e um ex-namorado surge com uma proposta de trabalho: encontrar o desaparecido músico da Laddz, a boy band do momento. Precisando do dinheiro, ela se vê forçada a aceitar, o que causa uma confusão em sua cabeça ao conviver com o ex e precisar acalmar o atual namorado. Ao tentar seguir suas próprias regras, Helen será arrastada para o mundo complexo, perigoso e glamoroso do showbiz, percebendo que seu pior inimigo ainda está por surgir. Irresistível, comovente e muito engraçado, Chá de sumiço é diferente de todos os romances do gênero, e a protagonista – corajosa, vulnerável e dona de uma língua afiadíssima – é a heroína perfeita para os novos tempos.

Beloved novelist Marian Keyes tackles the kitchen with a new cookbook featuring desserts that are both simple and delicious, with step-by-step instructions and stunning photography. “To be perfectly blunt about it, my choice sometimes is: I can kill myself, or I can make a dozen cupcakes. Right so, I’ll do the cupcakes and I can kill myself tomorrow.” In Saved by Cake, Marian Keyes gives a candid account of her recent battle with depression and her discovery that learning to bake was exactly what she needed to regain her joie de vivre. A complete novice in the kitchen, Marian decided to bake a cake for a friend. From the moment she began measuring, she realized that baking was the best way for her to get through each day. Refreshingly honest and wickedly funny, Saved by Cake shines with Keyes’ inimitable charm and is chockfull of sound advice. Written in Marian’s signature style, her take on baking is honest, witty, extremely accessible and full of fun. Her simple and delicious recipes—from Consistently Reliable Cupcakes to Fridge-set Honeycomb Cheesecake—are guaranteed to tempt even the most jaded palate.

Suosikkikirjailijan uusin romaani - viihdyttävä sekoitus kevyttä ja koskettavaa. Kolmekymppisellä Helenillä ei mene kovin hyvin: hän joutuu rahapulan vuoksi luopumaan ihanasta kodistaan ja muuttamaan takaisin vanhempiensa luo. Uusi, kuuma poikaystävä Artie kyllä tuo Helenille lohtua, mutta Artien ex-vaimossa ja kolmessa lapsessa on hiukan sulateltavaa. Ja kun Helen eräänä aamuna luulee taivaalla lentäviä lokkeja korppikotkiksi, on aika myöntää että masennuskin on uusiutunut. Kun ärsyttävä ex-poikaystävä Jay sitten ilmaantuu takaisin kuvioihin ja tarjoaa Helenille töitä yksityisetsivänä, Helen ei voi kieltäytyä. Tehtävänä on löytää Wayne, aiemmin suursuositun poikabändin äkillisesti kadonnut jäsen, sillä comeback-keikka lähestyy mutta bändin outolintua ei näy missään. Tehtävä osoittautuu kimurantiksi ja vie Helenin supertähtien loistokkaaseen mutta vinksahtaneeseen maailmaan. Helen kuitenkin selvittää hankaluudet suorapuheisuuden, sinnikkyyden ja mustan huumorin voimalla. Unohtamatta kunnon lääkitystä. Irlantilainen Marian Keyes (s.1963) kirjoittaa elämänmakuisia romaaneja, joissa kerrotaan humoristisesti ja koskettavasti siitä, millaista on olla nainen. Keyes käsittelee komedian kautta synkkiäkin aiheita kuten depressiota, riippuvuutta tai sairauksia. Omien kokemuksiensa pohjalta hän pitää huumoria hyvänä tapana käsitellä vaikeita asioita silti vähättelemättä niiden aiheuttamaa tuskaa. Feministiksi julistautunut Keyes on vakaasti sitä mieltä, että huulipuna ja korkokengät eivät tee naisesta idioottia.

Una divertidísima colección de relatos cortos y artículos sobre los temas que más le interesan a Marian Keyes. Bajo el edredón es una selección de mis artículos periodísticos, con el añadido de ocho relatos cortos. Si has leído mis novelas (seguro que sí), ya conoces bastante mis temas preferidos y mis obsesiones: La moda: sobre todo los zapatos y Prada... pero ¿quién no está desesperadamente enamorado de Prada? Los hombres: no me refiero al mío, a Él Mismo, entiéndeme. Bueno, un poco sí, pero hay unos cuantos por ahí que son increíbles. Viajar: claro que me gusta, pero sufro de jet lag después de un vuelo de una hora. No es broma. Y mucho más: mi madre, mis hermanos, amigos varios (algunos muy extraños), mi casa, las miles de cosas que todavía no sé hacer... Ahora espero que te guste esta excursión por mi mundo. Reseña: «Todo aquel que ya sea fan de Marian Keyes (solo unos pocos millones en todo el mundo) se entusiasmarán con esta colección de artículos.» Heat
