Angels

Product Information

She rarely left the office and popular opinion (not that she was popular, of course) had it that she slept under her desk and washed, like a bag lady, in the staff toilets. More than 35 million copies of her novels have been sold, and her works have been translated into 33 languages.

As you would expect in the Trinny-and-Susannah school of literature, the results of Maggie's high-maintenance regime pay off and she gets herself invited to a real A-list Hollywood party. In the City of Angels, Maggie gets to do things she's never done before: mixing with film stars, pitching scripts, partying non-stop. During this time she also wrote The Mystery of Mercy Close, a novel in which the heroine experiences similar battles with depression and suicide attempts as those Keyes herself experienced.He is excellent at map-reading, can do hard sums in his head, loves dogs, is deeply kind and smells beautiful. There she joins her best friend Emily, who is busily pitching scripts to studios, mixing with movie stars and generally living the heck out of the dream.

This novel describes Claire in a way that readers identify with her, sharing in her struggles and victories. Beautifully and stylishly designed by a modern artist, they are not only stories you'll keep coming back to but also books whose looks will never go out of fashion .Although, many of the books written by author Keyes are regarded as comedies, they are often set around the dark themes which author Keyes has drawn from her own experiences in life.

I probably enjoyed the beginning and the end most - it was the stuff in the middle that I could have done without. Apart from the sisters, in this series we get to be introduced to new characters, we get to see relationships unraveling and we get to connect with the characters on a more personal and emotional level. That credo is what makes Keyes's novels so interesting and so frustrating, and what makes her an artist manqué as well as a marketing phenomenon. Now and again – at least, before things had gone weird on us -when we’d cleared our backlog of ordinary worries, we’d spend a bit of time worrying that we weren’t getting enough vitamins.

After a long hiatus due to severe depression, a food title, Saved by Cake, was published in February 2012. And who knows, if Liam’s new flat screen television hadn’t fallen off the wall and on to his foot, breaking his big toe in the process, so that I’d gone out instead of going home, maybe Garv and I would never have split up.

We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities. She doesn’t listen to music while she’s working (or ever, really) but while writing Again, Rachel, to reconnect with the spirit of The Real Men, she played Led Zeppelin and early Doobie Brothers.
