Anybody Out There?

By: Marian Keyes

Narrated by: Terry Donnelly

Marian Keyes has introduced readers to the lives, loves, and foibles of the five Walsh sisters. In this funny, heartbreaking, and triumphant new tale set in the Big Apple, it's Anna's turn in the spotlight.

Life is perfect for Anna Walsh. She has the ""Best Job in the World"" as a PR exec for a top-selling urban beauty brand, a lovely apartment in New York, and a perfect husband -- the love of her life, Aidan Maddox. Until the morning she wakes up in her mammy's living room in Dublin with her face in stitches, a dislocated knee, and completely smashed-up hands -- and no memory of how she got there. While her mammy plays nursemaid, Anna tries to get better and keeps wondering why Aidan won't return her phone calls or emails.

Recuperating from her injuries, a mystified Anna returns to Manhattan. Slowly beginning to remember what happened, she sets off on a search to find Aidan -- a hilarious quest involving lilies (she can't stop smelling them), psychics, mediums, and anyone there who can promise her a reunion with her beloved...

Written in her classic style, marrying the darker parts of life with humor and wit, Anybody Out There? is Marian Keyes' best novel to date, wonderfully charming look at love here and ever after.

love love love this book

my favorite author! this book will make you laugh, cry and contemplate your own life

Slow but fun

I first read Rachel's Holiday and absolutely loved it. This story about Walsh sister Anna is not as great but still good.
The narrator is great but the consistent reading of the full email addresses of both the recipient and the sender every single time Anna gets an email is beyond annoying.
The plot moves pretty slowly and there's really no surprising twists or climactic revelations though.
overall though I still do like Marion keys writing style.

GREAT book!

A phenomenal book about loss and life! Well written with a mixture of humor and emotion. I'd definitely recommend this audiobook!
