At 66 Star Street, a Dublin building with a mix of tenants, a mysterious narrator who has no body watches the residents and talks to the reader. Marian Keyes introduces Matt, a young man with a failed relationship, a pair of sisters, a lonely man, an older woman, and the new tenant, Katherine, who is looking for something. The narrator hints that something is about to happen and that one of them is at risk. The chapters move from one resident to another and from the present to earlier moments, bringing together their stories.
Fans of warm Irish women's fiction will enjoy the cast and the humor. It's a good choice for readers who like ensemble novels where the characters' lives gradually overlap and the mood moves between comic and moving.
Inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
