The Brightest Star in the Sky

By: Marian Keyes

Narrated by: Gerri Halligan

June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday....

And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings.

For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change....

Critic reviews

"Gripping from the start...the master at her best." (Daily Telegraph)

"Our very favourite Keyes novel yet." (Heat)

"Zips along with engaging characters, fabulous plotting and spot-on dialogue. Marian Keyes: what a genius." (Daily Mail)

Chick Lit and Proudly Irish

Marian Keyes is always entertaining. I always really care about her characters. She certainly has the knack of bring people alive and making them individuals. In The Brightest Star, her plot is not 'deep and meaningful' and as 'easy reading' this is a treasure for a cold winter afternoon on the sofa with a wine and a box of chocolates. Gerri Halligan reads with fun and vitality.

Very special!

Loved it! Very heartwarming and real. It has truly altered my vision on the powers of the universe, and Marian Keyes' writing is funny and most of the characters very likeable (in spite of all their annoying traits) and you feel yourself wishing them all happy endings.

Not quite typical

This was the first audio-book I down loaded and I have to say I was very pleased. I had a 1600km car trip in front of me and I listened to it the whole journey.
Whilst I found it enjoyable it was not quite a typical Marian Keyes. There were more 'dark' overtones and it was more serious in parts than her usual free spirited style of writing.
All in all... not bad:)

Involving

I loved the way I was sucked into the story. The characters where (some) funny and (some) very real and it was nice going on a rollercoaster with them.
The ending left me very satisfied

Marian Keyes is my favourite

I love anything she writes, cant get enough of all/any of her writing. Very funny, real and sad. Quite different to most of her other books. I just love the Irish,
