Angels

Unlike the rest of her family, Maggie Walsh has always done everything right. In the City of Angels, Maggie gets to do things she's never done before: mixing with film stars, pitching scripts, partying non-stop. But is this really a once-in-a-lifetime journey of self-discovery, or is she simply running away from married life?

Marian Keyes, author of the number one best-seller This Charming Man and Rachel's Holiday, explores love, life, marriage and escape in Angels. Following Maggie, one of the Walsh sisters, Angels traces her journey from married life to Hollywood.

Another captivating bestseller from the superstar of women's fiction, Angels by Marian Keyes, weaves a tale of self-discovery, change, and adventure.

Maggie Walsh has always lived a picture-perfect life. At thirty-three, she holds a respectable job, has a stable marriage with her husband Garv, and conforms to all societal expectations. Her life is a model of propriety and reliability—until the day she abruptly leaves her husband and escapes to Hollywood. Venturing into the dazzling city of dreams, she reunites with her best friend, Emily, and steps into a world she's never known.

In Hollywood, Maggie's life takes a dramatic turn. She finds herself mingling with film stars, pitching innovative scripts, and attending glamorous parties that go on until the early hours of the morning. This bustling, vibrant lifestyle in the City of Angels stands in stark contrast to her previous existence. While Maggie relishes these new experiences and freedoms, she begins to question her true motives. Is this exciting journey a much-needed adventure to rediscover herself, or is it merely an elaborate escape from the responsibilities and confines of her married life?

Keyes masterfully explores themes of self-discovery and transformation in Angels. Maggie's journey is an emotional rollercoaster, filled with humour, poignant moments, and relatable struggles. As she navigates this new chapter in her life, readers are invited to delve into the complexities of identity, love, and the pursuit of happiness. A compelling and heartwarming read, Angels captures the essence of finding oneself amid the chaos and allure of Hollywood.
