A propos de l'auteur

Marian Keyes was born in the West of Ireland on September 10, 1963. She was brought up in Dublin, and then she spent her twenties in London. She earned her law degree from Dublin University and then travelled to London where she worked in an administrative job in an accounts office. Keyes developed afficher plus a drinking problem, and after a failed suicide attempt, entered a rehabilitation program. Keyes began writing short stories four months before she stopped drinking, in 1993, and when she left rehab, she sent them to a publisher. Included with her stories was a letter saying that she had also begun a novel, which she hadn't. The publisher liked the short stories so much that they wrote back and asked for the novel, and Keyes wrote the first four chapters of her novel Watermelon in a week, and was offered a three-book contract. Watermelon was published in 1995. Keyes gave up her job in 1996 to become a full time writer. Her books are published in 35 countries worldwide and have been translated into several different languages, such as Hebrew and Japanese. In 2009, She won the Irish Book Award for her fiction novel, This Charming Man. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Grown Ups par Marian Keyes

It took me a while to get into this book. The characters seemed too stereotypical with pithy comments and witty comebacks. Even the children seems to express themselves too easily. With over 500 pages, this book is also an invitation to settle in - and I finally did. I started to care for the characters - their big flaws started to become more nuanced and the decisions that lead to their actions a bit more evident. Then I let myself be carried by the plot and made it through to the end.
I did struggle a bit with the Irish expression mingled with modern lingo but that made it a fun sociological exercise.
DId I love this book? Did I hate it? No, it's somewhere plumb in the middle: a good read for something not too strenuous.… (plus d'informations)

Une vie de rêve par Marian Keyes

Deuxième livre que je lis de Marian Keyes...
Ce qui m'a interpellée, surprise: elle décrit très bien comment on peut être attirée, tomber amoureux d'une personne, puis ne plus partager ces sentiments. Dans son livre les relations amoureuses se font et se défont... voir se refont (l'une des 2 héroïnes retourne vers son mari ... comme dans Chez Les Anges)
