Publisher Description

High heels, movie deals, wagon wheels, shoes, reviews, having the blues, builders, babies, families and other calamities.... Many think that Marian Keyes leads a glitzy life of limos, television, and showbiz parties - but she would argue that she spends the majority of her life writing alone, wearing her PJs, and eating bananas with a laptop on a pillow in front of her. Under the Duvet is a wide collection of her journalism and stories - all personal, closely observed, and painfully funny.

"I've long read and enjoyed Marian Keyes' novels, so I figured it was about time to read her essay collection. I tried it once before many years ago, but at the time hadn't realized that it wasn't yet another novel, so pretty quickly gave up on it as it wasn't what I was expecting. This time I knew what to expect, and greatly enjoyed it. It's always interesting to learn more about the person behind the books."

    " I didnt' think that I could love Marian Keyes any more until I read this collection of her essays and articles that she has written for various newspapers and magazines (mostly in Ireland & the UK). If I remember correctly, these are not short fiction stories, but short essays about her life, family, and travels. "

    " This was fun -- read it on my Kindle on my commute. These are short reviews, essays, etc. and are the perfect length for a train ride. They have all of Keyes's typical wit and charm. Lightweight but no less enjoyable for that fact. "

    " eh, I found it hard to get into this one. Unlike MK's other books, this one is a compilation of short stories and I was more in the mood for a novel so I was a little disappointed. I'm sure it's a fine book but I just couldn't get through it... "
