Product Description:


With This Charming Man, Marian Keyes hits her stride as a novelist with her best novel yet, telling the stories of four women who are shaped by one man



Paddy de Courcy is Ireland's debonair politician, the "John F. Kennedy Jr. of Dublin." His charm and charisma have taken hold of the country and the tabloids, not to mention our four heroines: Lola, Grace, Marnie, and Alicia. But though Paddy's winning smile is fooling Irish minds, the broken hearts he's left in his past offer a far more truthful look into his character.



Narrated in turn by each woman, This Charming Man explores how their love for this one man has shaped their lives. But in true Marian Keyes fashion, this is more than a story of four love affairs. It's a testament to the strength women find in themselves through work, friendship, and family, no matter what demons may be haunting their lives. Depression, self-doubt, domestic abuse—each of these women has seen tough times in life, and it's through Keyes's wonderful storytelling ability that these subjects are approached with the appropriate tone and candor. Her deft touch provides a gripping story and, ultimately, a redemptive ending.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Witty and real
Unlike some of the readers that seem confused and frustrated by the first chapter of the book, I actually really enjoyed it. It is supposed to be the inner monologue of a depressed tired angry and sad woman ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Marian Keyes is superb but this is by far not her best
Heroine brokenhearted. So despondent lost pronouns. Articles, too.

This is not a preview for those who haven't read this--or other--Marian Keyes books. For those people, yes, she's great, go ... Read More
