Über den Autor
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 mehr anzeigen 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) weniger anzeigen

Ein Haupt-Manko an diesem Buch ist, dass es so langweilig ist. Es zieht sich furchtbar, weil es nicht spannend ist. Maggie erlebt verschiedene Abenteuer, auch erotischer Natur, überzeugt aber überhaupt nicht. Die hinter Maggies Problemen stehende Geschichte ist ganz gut. Aber da sie erst im letzten Drittel beginnt, kann sie nicht durch das Buch tragen. Weitgehend ist das Buch einfach uninteressant.… (mehr)
