Angels

Product Information

Maggie has a rather sad back-story, which emerges in the latter part of the novel, and which adds poignancy to her situation with the failure of her marriage.

Her writing bored be so much I couldn't even get through the whole book and ended up reading the epilogue. Another thing is the way it referred to mental health (like depression for example) was very insensitive and was romantizing it. I consider Angels the best book Marian Keyes has ever written (although I havent yet read all her books).You could cut away almost every scene between page 80 and page 400 and you'd still be able to understand the final 80 pages. Most unexpectedly of all,she finds that just because her marriage is over,it doesn't mean her life is. In Angels, Keyes moves from her usual venues - suburban and boomtown Dublin - to Los Angeles and the film industry. This book almost does something very interesting for chick lit: the main character, an Irish woman whose marriage is coming apart, comes to L. I probably enjoyed the beginning and the end most - it was the stuff in the middle that I could have done without.

Underneath the perfect eyebrows, Maggie stays the same wholesome, romantic Irish girl, and we know that her prince (not to mention the entire Walsh family with tickets to Disneyland) will come to rescue her in the end. Cuando hoy te vi, me di cuenta de que mis sentimientos seguían vivos y supe que siempre te quitaría el caracol del parabrisas.

Her journalism, collected under two titles, Making It Up As I Go Along and Under the Duvet: Deluxe Edition , containing the original publications Under the Duvet and Further Under the Duvet , are also available from Penguin.
