About this title

Review:

Marian Keyes' Sushi for Beginners is the blissfully funny, smart tale of three women who discover that the line between success and failure, happiness and sadness, sanity and madness is finer than they ever thought . . .

'Dammit,' she realized. 'I think I'm having a nervous breakdown.'

(from the publisher's description)

Classic Keyes. Constantly surprising, gloriously entertaining, and has a dark underbite that makes it irresistible (The Pool)

Should come with a health warning. It's totally addictive . . . a real page turner (Sunday Express)

Chatty and warmhearted, Keyes's talent is to tell it how it is (Independent)

From the Back Cover:

'Dammit,' she realized.
'I think I'm having a nervous breakdown . . .'

On the up magazine editor Lisa Edwards' career is destined for high-rise New York when suddenly she's diverted to low-rise Dublin. But what the hell can she do about it?

Ashling Kennedy, Lisa's super-organized assistant, is good at worrying. Too good. She's even terrified of a little bit of raw fish . . .

Clodagh Kelly is Ashling's best friend and has done everything right - has in fact got everything that Ashling ever wanted. And yet, she's still unsatisfied.

Three women searching for happiness but if they're not careful they'll each be heading for a fall . . .

'Hilarious' Mail on Sunday

'Laden with plots twists, jokey asides and nicely turned bits of zeitgeisty observational humour' Guardian
