BESTSELLING Irish author Marian Keyes is in London this week to talk about her latest book.
The Limerick-born author, famed for titles such as Rachel’s Holiday, Anybody Out There and Grown Ups, releases her 16th novel My Favourite Mistake on April 11.
On the same day the Irishwoman will be talking about the book with the Canadian writer Monica Heisey at an event being held at St James Church in Piccadilly.
The pair will discuss the story and, in particular, its protagonist Anna.
Trading a minor midlife crisis for a major life event, Anna switches the skyscrapers of Manhattan for the tiny Irish town of Maumtully – with a population of 1,217 - helping old friends Brigit and Colm set up a luxury coastal retreat.
In statement on her social media, Keyes asks fans to 'come along' and ask some questions - but joked that she would not be answering any 'sums'.
If you're in London this coming Thursday and would like to be entertained and to ask me Hard Questions (no sums though, I can't do sums) then come along! Tickets available from @waterstones 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 https://t.co/axehnflXsC

An Evening with Marian Keyes at St James’s Church is being organsed by Waterstones.
