Anybody Out There

Anna Walsh is officially a wreck. She's covered in bandages and she's lying in her parents' Good Front Room dreaming of leaving Dublin and getting back to New York. To her friends. And most of all back to Aiden. But her family have other ideas. And Aiden, for some reason, seems unwilling to get in touch.

What happened to Anna to send her so far from all that she loves? And what happened to her marriage that her husband won't talk to her?

The number one bestseller's fan-favourite Walsh sister novel is back, in a stunning reissue edition.

Meet Anna Walsh, a young woman whose life has unravelled in ways she never imagined. Lying in her parents' Good Front Room in Dublin, her body is covered in bandages, and her heart is aching to return to her beloved New York. Anna longs for her home, her vibrant job, and most of all, her husband Aidan. Unfortunately, reality isn't cooperating.

Her well-intentioned family is determined to keep her in Dublin, believing it’s best for her recovery, and Aidan is mysteriously unreachable, refusing even to take her calls. Trapped and with little else to do, Anna is left with no choice but to confront her own story. How did she end up in this painful mess? Where did everything go so terribly wrong? And, perhaps most importantly, can she find a way to fix it before it's too late?

Anybody Out There by Marian Keyes takes readers on a poignant yet humorous journey as Anna navigates through love, loss, and the healing process. It’s a deeply emotional tale laced with Keyes' trademark wit and warmth. Diving into Anna’s struggles, the novel explores themes of family, resilience, and the complexities of modern relationships.

This enthralling novel will have readers laughing, crying, and rooting for Anna every step of the way. Whether you are discovering it for the first time or revisiting a cherished favourite, Anybody Out There is a compelling story that resonates with anyone who has ever faced a major upheaval in their life.

Don’t miss this beautifully reissued edition of one of Marian Keyes' most beloved works. It’s not just a story about finding one's way back but also discovering what home truly means.
