Penguin Books Ltd, 2024

THE HILARIOUS, HEARTWARMING NEW NOVEL FROM INTERNATIONAL NO. 1 BESTSELLER MARIAN KEYES 'You are all in for a treat. My Favourite Mistake is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking, with a very satisfying mystery at the heart of it too' Elly Griffiths 'A great, big mystery romance that will make you laugh on every page. A marvel' Catherine Newman 'Explodes with joyful humanity on every page' Sara Pascoe --- Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple… She has a life to envy. An apartment in New York. A well-meaning (too well-meaning?) partner. And a high-flying job in beauty PR. Who wouldn’t want all that? Anna, it turns out. Trading a minor midlife crisis for a major life event, she switches the skyscrapers of Manhattan for the tiny Irish town of Maumtully (population 1,217), helping old friends Brigit and Colm set up a luxury coastal retreat. Tougher than it sounds. Newflash: the locals hate the idea. So much so, there have been threats – and violence. Anna, however, worked in the beauty industry. There’s no ugliness she hasn’t seen. No wrinkle she can’t smooth over. There’s just one fly in the ointment – old flame Joey Armstrong. He’s going to be her wingman. Never mind their chequered history. Never mind what might have been. Because no matter how far you go, your mistakes will still be waiting for you . . . --- 'Keyes is a powerhouse' The Sunday Times 'Warmhearted and deftly plotted page-turner. A celebration of kindness: that of family and friends' Sunday Telegraph 'We love Marian for her humour, relatable style and wisdom - all of which are present here. A big-hearted read full of big feelings' Woman & Home ‘Furiously funny and stealthily profound. There’s so much depth, but reading it made me feel happier and lighter than I have in ages – it’s sexy, smart, wise, touching and fun' Daisy Buchanan 'Keyes’s is so good at upping the tension in will they/won’t they scenarios, keeping the characterisation rich and the jokes frequent. She somehow keeps it both light and intensely important at the same time' i Praise for Marian Keyes 'Sensitive, funny, wonderful, immensely touching' Nigella Lawson 'Delightfully funny' Daily Telegraph 'Funny, tender, completely absorbing!' Graham Norton 'An entertaining, growingly poignant contemporary tale' Sunday Times 'Funny, heartbreaking, achingly real' Jane Fallon 'Beautifully written, funny, heartbreaking and always wise - a proper treat' Daily Mail
