Fantastic read. Another amazing book by Marian Keyes as always. There is also a suprising twist part way through which was totally unexpected. Brilliant to read.

The story made me cry from cover to cover, and I love the fact that Marian Keyes left you thinking one thing while the other was true. Perfect storytelling while not being too taxing on the old brain. Can't think of any bad points, although the story was a tiny bit slow in parts, for me. I would recommend this book as great for anyone who wants a good read and doesn't want to stress the grey cells too much.

Anybody Out There?
Marian Keyes
Morrow, May 2006, $24.95
ISBN 0060898291
In Manhattan, public relations specialist for punk cosmetics brand Candy Grrrl, Anna Walsh suffers sever injuries in a taxi accident that include a horrifying disfigurement across her pretty visage. Physically healing though suffering from multiple fractures, Anna mentally struggles, especially with the facial scar, so she returns home to her loving family in the Dublin area for nurturing.
Dublin is no picnic, as she finds herself embroiled in family affairs that the ocean kept her out of. Private eye sister Helen works with mobsters; Rachel is acting crazy with her marriage coming soon; and her mom is feuding with a dog pooping at the mailbox. With her husband Aidan not responding to email and seemingly vanished, a despondent Anna wonders if you can really go home, that is if she can figure out where home is.
Highly regarded, Marian Keyes (see ANGELS, WATERMELON and RACHEL'S HOLIDAY) returns with her latest and best Walsh tale, which is saying a lot, as this is a top rate series. Anna is terrific as the center of the family dynamics this time around. As she becomes involved with the escapades of her sisters and mom, her spouse back in Manhattan becomes a MIA. Bittersweet, amusing and powerfully acute, this is a great literary character study.
