My Favourite Mistake: Marian Keyes

This event has ended

Merrion Square Park, Saturday 18th May

Ireland’s international sensation is at it again with her newest bestseller, My Favourite Mistake. Marian Keyes steps into the spotlight for a laugh-out-loud evening discussing old flames, midlife crises, and falling back in love with yourself.

When ultra-successful Anna loses her taste for her life in the Big Apple, she switches the skyscrapers of Manhattan for the tiny Irish town of Matmully, leaving behind her high-profile job and the picture-perfect partner. But when her return to the homeland doesn’t go quite as smoothly as planned, she’ll have to come face to face with her biggest mistake.

Full of her signature warmth, wit, and wisdom, Keyes’ latest will have fans laughing, crying, and laughing again. In conversation with co-host of the Graham Norton Book Club Alex Clark, this evening is a guaranteed great night out.

Marian Keyes is the multi-million copy, internationally bestselling author of some of the most widely loved, genre-defying novels of the past thirty years – such as Rachel’s Holiday, Anybody Out There and Grown Ups. In addition to her fifteen previous novels, Marian has also written three collections of journalism, and co-hosts the popular show Now You’re Asking with actress Tara Flynn for BBC Radio 4.

Alex Clark is a journalist and broadcaster who regularly hosts live events. She writes for the Guardian and the Observer and co-hosts the Times Literary Supplement’s weekly podcast and the Graham Norton Book Club on Audible.
