Unlike the men in Roddy Doyle's novels, the husbands and boyfriends in Keyes's may be insensitive or even cruel, but they are not violent or abusive. In addition to their formidable capacity for drink and their stoic endurance of hangovers, her heroines all suffer from "mourning sickness". So real was the emotions described in the plot regarding the husband and the baby that I was shocked to later find out Ms.

A few years ago I read a few Marian Keyes books and I couldn’t remember which ones I had read from the blurb on the back… Probably not a good sign. The third book in the series about the Welsh family tells the story of when Maggie, 'the sensible and responsible one' arrives at a turning point in her life. Most unexpectedly of all,she finds that just because her marriage is over,it doesn't mean her life is. Angels is the story of Margaret "Maggie" Walsh and her flight to Los Angeles after she found out about her husband Garv's affair with truffle woman.I usually love Marian Keyes' books, but found this one very slow going and easy to lose interest in. Following the break-up of her nine year marriage to Garv, Dublin resident Maggie Walsh jets off to Los Angeles to spend some time with her friend Emily O'Keeffe.

Podría intentar dármelas de crítica alegando que en esta novela tampoco renuncia a su fórmula, que no se diferencia en nada del resto de su obra y que una vez más lidiamos con el mismo corte de protagonista, el mismo prototipo de secundarios chiflados y el mismo drama existencial… pero si su fórmula es la de mi felicidad, ¿qué es lo que voy a objetar? Currently the 67th richest woman in the UK, with sales of her books topping 5m copies, Keyes is now in the Very Good Place. I consider Angels the best book Marian Keyes has ever written (although I havent yet read all her books). Seré breve, porque los halagos hacia Marian siempre son los mismos, y las quejas, más bien escasas: me ha envuelto al principio y luego me ha ido desinflando, pero hasta que no me ha convencido del todo, no me ha dejado rendirme con él. Las cuatro de la madrugada es el momento más desapacible del ser humano, cuando tenemos más bajo el ánimo.Angels is written with sensitivity and spunk, a combination that has really seemed to work for Keyes’ books in which the Walsh sisters appear. They end up making love, and right afterwards both of them realize that they're not suited for each other, Maggie realizing she's straight after all just like she thought before meeting Laura, and Laura deciding that Maggie was just a rebound thing and not really Laura's type.
