Paddy de Courcy is Ireland’s debonair politician, the “John F. Kennedy Jr. of Dublin.” His charm and charisma have taken hold of the country and the tabloids, not to mention our four heroines: Lola, Grace, Marnie, and Alicia. But though Paddy’s winning smile is fooling Irish minds, the broken hearts he’s left in his past offer a far more truthful look into his character.Narrated in turn by each woman, This Charming Man explores how their love for this one man has shaped their lives. But in true Marian Keyes fashion, this is more than a story of four love affairs. It’s a testament to the strength women find in themselves through work, friendship, and family, no matter what demons may be haunting their lives. Depression, self-doubt, domestic abuse—each of these women has seen tough times in life, and it’s through Keyes’s wonderful storytelling ability that these subjects are approached with the appropriate tone and candor. Her deft touch provides a gripping story and, ultimately, a redemptive ending.

I have not yet read a Marian Keyes book before. I’ve heard nothing but good things about her and I wanted to read her for quite a long time now but I never got around to it. The great thing about reading romance, chick lit and all that is that you will never run out of books to read and that’s why I haven’t yet read a MK book even though my friend has pimped her to me numerous time.

Well, I’m going to read MK now. This book sounds so good and I’m going to read it. Here’s the buzz going around about this book and some interesting video’s, tid bits and info on the author herself.

Enjoy!
