Under the Duvet: Shoes, Reviews, Having the Blues, Builders, Babies, Families and Other Calamities – Funny and Personal Observations on Modern Life

Marian Keyes gathers her newspaper columns and essays on everyday life, from shopping for shoes and reading reviews to depression, builders in the house, babies and relatives. She writes in a funny, honest voice, and does not hide her struggles, including the occasional bad day. The pieces are short and cover her life in Ireland and her interests, including food, fashion and friends.

Readers who enjoy her novels will find a lighter, personal side, and anyone looking for humor to dip into can read it a column at a time. It suits fans of confessional comic writing.

Practical and clear-cut; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
