‘Bridget Jones meets menopause…sharp, funny and real’ Cecelia
Ahern Lay on couch for a brief nap. Woke up an hour later, the
witch trials book I’m reading stuck to one side of my face.
Pretending not to be menopausal is exhausting. When fifty-year-old
Agatha Doyle starts keeping a diary, all it seems to record is how
she doesn’t know who she is any more. Her glorious empty house is
full of people. And her head is full of fog. All it takes to tip
her over the edge is a pair of red velvet heels and a man who
won’t stop talking. Standing up for herself – and for midlife
women everywhere – Agatha unwittingly goes viral. But with a
distant husband and an even more distant sex life, can she also
become the heroine of her own life? ‘I laughed out loud at this
fabulous, joyful book’ Napier Courier ‘One of my absolutely
favourite authors’ Sheila O’Flanagan ‘Witty, poignant and a
complete page-turner’ Sinead Moriarty ‘Laugh-out-loud funny
with a spikily endearing heroine who runs full tilt at the
menopause with a baseball bat in her hands’ Cathy Kelly ‘So
funny and smart and warm…honestly all women will love this
book’ Anna McPartlin ‘Written in a deliciously dead-pan tone,
this hilarious, heartfelt novel will appeal to readers at any
age’ Irish Times, ‘25 Great Holiday Books’
Forty-two-year-old Vinnie knows lots of things. He knows new books
and school shoes are expensive. He knows his teenage daughter keeps
getting into trouble and he knows his eight-year-old has wet the
bed every night for the past year and a half. What Vinnie doesn't
know is where his wife is, or how he will ever get better at single
fatherhood. Ellen knows how much it costs to take a taxi to the
physio. She knows she's too scared to get behind the wheel of a car
ever again and she knows that what happened in the accident was all
her fault. What Ellen doesn't know is that Vinnie is about to need
her to face her fears. And neither of them knows they're going to
change the other's life forever.

friendship. 'a tender, emotional and uplifting read ... I loved it'
Lucy Diamond 'A superb writer - the Irish Jojo Moyes' Irish
Examiner The simple fact of the matter is that Iris loves life.
Maybe she's forgotten that. Sometimes that happens, doesn't it? To
the best of us? All I have to do is remind her of that one simple
fact. Monday morning starts like any other - until Terry discovers
her best friend Iris has gone missing. Finding her takes Terry,
Iris and Terry's confused father Eugene, into an extraordinary
journey - one that will change all of their lives. And, along the
way, what should be the worst six days of Terry's life turn into
the best. Because friendship teaches us all to be brave. And,
sometimes, the rules are made to be broken.

future, until the day it changes forever. This is Milo's story. All

Dara Flood always says the most interesting thing about her life
happened before she was born. Thirteen days before she came into
the world, her father walked up the road and never came back. Now
in her twenties, she lives a quiet life with her mother and sister
Angel and works at the local dog pound - she finds dogs much easier
to understand than people. But when Angel gets sick and neither
Dara nor her mother is a match for the kidney she desperately
needs, Dara knows she will do anything to save Angel - even track
down the man who left them behind. So with the help of a rather
surprising private investigator, Dara steps anxiously in to the big
wide world with a dream of finding Mr Flood. But as you know,
following your dreams can lead you to unexpected places . . .
It all started with a bottle of Baileys that was a year out of date
but I drank it anyway . . . One minute, well, Friday night, you're
in a long-term if long-distance relationship with the perfect
Shane. The next, Saturday morning, you're waking up in bed with the
mother of all hangovers . . . and Bernard O'Malley, newest member
of the I.T. department. Another entry on the list of things you
can't forgive yourself for. The worst is Spain. What you did there.
And what happened to your brother. Ever since then, life has slowly
spiralled out of control. You dust yourself down, have a cigarette
and pull on your stiletto boots. But you know that something's got
to give. You just hope it's not the zip on your skinny jeans . . .
Meet Scarlett O'Hara - wedding planner extraordinaire - who's
famous for making dreams come true. From scuba-diving ceremonies to
flamingos at the reception, her colour-coded checklists make
everything look simple. Scarlett's personal life ran just as
smoothly. Until now. Her dependable boyfriend has moved to Brazil.
She's had to give up her Dublin flat and move back home. And she's
pregnant. Worse still, she doesn't know who the father of the baby
is . . . even though she's slept with exactly 4 1/2 men in her
entire 35 years. How will Scarlett cope now all her best laid plans
have gone with the wind?
