Book description
For all fans eagerly awaiting Marian Keyes' new novel The Mystery
of Mercy Close - featuring Helen Walsh and out in September -
here is a laugh-out-loud ebook-only short guide to everyone's
favourite dysfunctional Irish family, Mammy Walsh's A-Z of the
Walshes.
It does exactly what it says on the tin but here's a brief word from
its author, Mammy Walsh herself:
'There's this woman I know from bridge, Mona Hopkins, a lovely woman
she is, even if I must admit I'm not that keen on her myself, and she
said a great thing the other day. I was expecting her to say "Two
no trumps," but instead she comes out with a saying about her
children. She says, "Boys wreck your house and girls wreck your
head." Isn't that a marvellous bit of wisdom - "Boys wreck
your house and girls wreck your head!" And God knows it's the
truest thing I've heard in a long time. I should know. I have five
girls. Five daughters. And let me tell you, my head is wrecked from them.
Although, now that I think of it, so is my house . . .'
It's the perfect re-introduction to the Walsh family and Marian's
new novel, The Mystery of Mercy Close.
