"Keyes displays razor-sharp insight....A thoughtful book that will arouse empathy, anger, and finally satisfaction."
--Rocky Mountain News (Denver)
This Charming Man has everything Marian Keyes fans have come to love--laughter through tears, great friendships, and flawed but lovable heroines that readers can relate to. The internationally beloved author of Last Chance Saloon, Sushi for Beginners, Anybody Out There? and her latest blockbuster, The Brightest Star in the Sky, to name just a few of her bestselling novels, Keyes now gives us a darkly enchanting fable of four women whose lives are shaped and devastated by one Irish playboy politician. "Keyes's protagonists shine, even at their darkest," Entertainment Weekly tells us, as This Charming Man demonstrates yet again that "Keyes juggles the serious and the comic with ease" (Miami Herald).
From the Back Cover
The lives of four very different women have been shaped--and battered--by one charming man. . . .
Ireland's debonair politician Paddy de Courcy--the "John F. Kennedy Jr. of Dublin"--has captured tabloid headlines and the imagination of his country with his charm and charisma. But the crushed hearts he's left behind him reveal more about his character than his winning, votegetting smile. Lola, Grace, Marnie, and Alicia have all suffered from his selfishness and cruelty. But with Paddy's political star ascending, the time is finally ripe for redemption . . . and perhaps a bit of revenge.
