Opis

The Other Side of the Story is an exploration of modern love, rivalry and the complexities of friendship, from international bestselling author Marian Keyes The agent Jojo, a high-flying literary agent on the up, has just made a very bad career move: she's jumped into bed with her married boss, Mark ... The bestseller Jojo's sweet-natured client Lily's first novel is a roaring success. She and lover Anton celebrate by spending the advance for her second book. Then she gets writer's block... The unknown Gemma used to be Lily's best friend - until Lily 'stole' Anton. Now she's writing her own story - painfully and hilariously - when supershark Jojo stumbles across it ... Three girls hoping and sometimes needing to make it big in the publishing world. But did anybody ever tell them that there's always another side to every story? 'A wonderful, subtle, hilarious and highly sophisticated novel' Evening Standard 'Another chart-topping blockbuster from goddess Marian Keyes . . . packed with sound writing, wit and common sense' Guardian 'This is scalpel-sharp comic writing - laden with juicy plot twists, sparkling dialogue and hilarious helpings of zeitgeisty observational humour' Ireland on Sunday 'Wildly funny, romantic and nearly impossible to put down. Elbow your way to the front of the queue to get a copy' Daily Mail

Recenzje

Keyes's genius lies in making the darkest, most difficult aspects of humanity mentionable and manageable . . . Keyes's plot is cracking, but the story becomes even bolder and brighter because she lets her characters tell it Independent
