Marion Keyes brings a whole host of characters together in this funny and sad book. A mystery narrator carries the story along as we delve into the lives of several characters living in flats in the same house in Dublin. As usual Marian will have you laughing one minute and crying the next and lamenting the fact that you have reached the last page. A great read.
Marian Keyes' The Brightest Star in the Sky will draw you deep into the lives, loves and hopes of the residents of Star Street . . . And who or what exactly is the mysterious visitor waiting to emerge from the shadows?
'June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday . . .'
And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings. For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change . . .
