The hard part - the painful, joyous, maddening, beautiful part - is staying in love. When Hugh returns, if he returns, will he be the same man she married? And will Amy be the same woman?īecause falling in love is easy. She just has to hold the family together until Hugh comes back.īut a lot can happen in six-months. She never believed she'd have to go it alone again. It's been a long time since Amy held a briefcase in one hand and a baby in the other. Yes, it's a mid-life crisis, but let's be clear: a break isn't a break up - yet. For six-months Hugh will lose himself in south-east Asia, and there is nothing Amy can say or do about it. He is just taking a break - from their marriage, their children and, most of all, from their life together. Besides covering difficult issues providing food for thought there are also plenty of laugh out loud moments.Īmy's husband Hugh isn't really leaving her.Īt least, that's what he promises. I had the great fortune of sending best selling author Marian Keyes some questions after reading her newest novel The Break A rather large but thoroughly. She successfully, sympathetically covers the serious and topical issues of grief and abortion. My Opinion: 570 pages! If you are a fan of Marian Keyes then I guess this will please you as one can never get enough of a favourite author? There is no doubt that Marian Keyes is a great storyteller and I found myself reading a 100 pages a night as I kept just wanting to read a bit more. Review Quote:'Classic Marian Keyes: a blizzard of wit and wisecracks.
If you want to do something, do it now because you might not get your chance again.'
Never let anyone tell you you're too old. 'We're taking a break'įavourite Quote: 'Life is for living. Source: Penguin - Bookmarks - Complimentary Copyįirst Sentence: 'Myself and Hugh,' I say.
