The
Brightest Star in the Sky by Marian Keyes
June the first, a bright summers evening, a Monday and
into the busy bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips unseen, a mysterious
visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons on No 66 fall in
and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live,
no one suspects the caller patiently in the wings. For soon: really soon,
everything is going to change…….
This is my first Marian Keyes, and it took a while to get
into it. Not because of her style but because I was trying to work out who or
what the narrator is. However once I penetrated the story and I was in, there
was no putting it down until the last page was turned. This novel is like peeling an onion there are
so many layers to it. If you have chunks of time to read blocks of pages in
each reading sitting, this is a worthwhile read.
Having spoken to a friend who has read more Marian Keyes,
this one is not representative of her others. This has wet my appetite and I
will read another at some point in the future.
