Immerse yourself in the delightful world of Marian Keyes with Under the Duvet. This enchanting collection of essays takes you on a hilarious and heartwarming journey through everyday life, offering a glimpse into Marian's unique perspective. With her characteristic wit and charm, she invites readers to explore the quirky and delightful moments that make life so enjoyable.

Venture into the unexpected as Marian guides you through a variety of intriguing experiences. From the whimsical world of the Irish air-guitar championships to an unforgettable shopping spree at Bloomingdales, each story is crafted with a blend of humour and insight. Travel to Cannes and witness a comical bout of "Villa-itis", or delve into lighter topics such as the politics of knickers, the nuances of fake tans, and the charm of sticky-out ears.

This collection isn't just a series of amusing anecdotes; it also touches on deeper themes, from passionate love affairs with make-up to the comforting indulgence of Toblerones. And let's not forget the wisdom and guidance of agony aunt, Mammy Walsh, who is ever ready to offer sage advice on life's dilemmas.

The charm of Under the Duvet lies in its balance of laughter and poignancy. Marian Keyes effortlessly blends down-to-earth tales with moving reflections, creating a vivid mosaic of modern life. For the first time, both of Marian's beloved collections of journalism, Under the Duvet and Further Under the Duvet, are available in one comprehensive volume.

So why not make yourself a cup of tea, grab a Kit Kat Chunky, and settle in for a delightful read? With Under the Duvet, Marian Keyes will take you on a journey filled with laughter, warmth, and a touch of nostalgia, reminding you to savour the little moments that make life so wonderfully unpredictable.
