Beloved women’s fiction writer Marian Keyes has been silent lately. Her devoted blog and newsletter followers last heard from Marian in January when she wrote that she was deeply, deeply depressed and needed some time to do nothing and work through her sadness.  According to Irish Central, Keyes is baking her way through her depression. Her beloved fans will just have to keep themselves busy by rereading her back list titles. (Every Marian Keyes novel has been a bestseller!) We at BookFinds wish her all the best and look forward to hearing from her soon!

The Brightest Star in the Sky received a *STARRED* review from Publishers Weekly:

Keyes delivers a dizzying vertical view of the mismatched, mixed-up tenants of Dublin’s 66 Star Street, friends and lovers who grow up, grow old and give way to their heart currents with help from a puckish sprite. This multitiered saga of Dubliners searching for the brightest star in the sky… the planet of love straddles slapstick and sophistication in an engaging balancing act both giddy and grand. Here’s Katie, publicist, freshly 40, and her workaholic, commitment-phobic fella, Conall; newlyweds Maeve and Matt, who hide a violent and crippling secret that binds them and drives them apart; madcap, sassy Lydia, a taxi driver who juggles worries about her aging mom and an over-the-top passion (mixed with equal parts lust and disdain) for her sexy flatmate; plucked from nowhere hunk Fionn, who hopes to begin a TV career, and his psychic foster mom and her mean-as-a-snake dog who improbably helps bring all the sweet mayhem to a satisfying close. Keyes (This Charming Man) is an expert at weaving dark threads into cozy material, and in this ambitious outing, she’s in top form.
