Synopsis

A wry and life-affirming tale-and the Irish literary star's latest New York Times bestseller.

Marian Keyes's inimitable blend of rollicking humor, effervescent prose, and captivating stories that deal with real-life issues have won readers around the globe. Reminiscent of the blockbuster movie Love, Actually, her new novel The Brightest Star in the Sky, features seven neighbors whose lives become entangled when a sassy and prescient spirit descends on 66 Star Street to radically transform at least one person's life in the Dublin town house. With the comic appeal of Nick Hornby's novels and delicious drama akin to Jane Green, The Brightest Star in the Sky will keep readers guessing, laughing, gasping, and in tears until the very last page.

Goodreads review by Thomas on February 17, 2018

If the first few reviews you saw was the "I usually love Marian Keys, but I'm rewarding this one star"-kind, I'm happy to tell you those unfortunates read this book all wrong. Quite the contrary, it has all the traits and character (and characters) that makes me adore Ms Keyes books unreservedly. Yes......more
