Bookworms will be delighted to hear that Marian Keyes is releasing a new novel in 2024.
The beloved Irish author announced the long-awaited news this week.
Her novel 'My Favourite Mistake' is set to be published in April.
There's no doubt that her readers will be glued to her upcoming novel.
The story is set in New York so we're already dying to pick it up from our local bookshop.
Marian Keyes is one of the most celebrated authors in Ireland so 2024 is bound to be a great year for the bookish community.
You can read the synopsis My Favourite Mistake is below:
"Anna 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.
"Turning a minor mid-life crisis into a major life event she packs it in, heads back to Ireland, and gets a PR job for a super-high-end coastal retreat.
"Tougher than it sounds. Newsflash: the locals hate it. 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. Anna’s got this.
"Until she discovers that leaving New York doesn’t mean escaping her mistakes.
"Once upon a time she’d had a best friend. Once upon a time she’d loved a man. Now she has neither. And now she has to face them."
The novel, published by Penguin, will be available in April 2024.
