The Woman Who Stole My LifeBy Marian KeyesSnappy ReviewNot as light as others but still with the conversational charm that her writing has. It’s a good read about gaining the unexpected.Synopsis
Name: Stella Sweeney.
Height: average.
Recent life events: dramatic.
One day, sitting in traffic, married Dublin mum Stella Sweeney attempts a good deed. The resulting car crash changes her life.
For she meets a man who wants her telephone number (for the insurance, it turns out). That’s okay. She doesn’t really like him much anyway (his Range Rover totally banjaxed her car).
But in this meeting is born the seed of something which will take Stella thousands of miles from her old life, turning an ordinary woman into a superstar, and, along the way, wrenching her whole family apart.
Is this all because of one ill-advised act of goodwill? Was meeting Mr Range Rover destiny or karma? Should she be grateful or hopping mad?
For the first time real, honest-to-goodness happiness is just within her reach. But is Stella Sweeney, Dublin housewife, ready to grasp it?
Marian’s stunning new novel The Woman Who Stole My Life is about losing the life you had and finding a better one.
