Description

It all started with a bottle of Baileys that was a year out of date but I drank it anyway... One minute, well, Friday night, you're in a long-term if long-distance relationship with the perfect Shane. The next, Saturday morning, you're waking up in bed with the mother of all hangovers... and Bernard O'Malley, newest member of the I.T. department. Another entry on the list of things you can't forgive yourself for. The worst is Spain. What you did there. And what happened to your brother. Ever since then, life has slowly spiralled out of control. You dust yourself down, have a cigarette and pull on your stiletto boots. But you know that something's got to give. You just hope it's not the zip on your skinny jeans...

Reviews

Light and fluffy on top with a hearty, meaty base that will make you sigh with satisfaction when finished... - Courier Mail ...a touching and entertaining read from a new Irish author - Grazia This is a lively Irish romantic comedy with tragedy at its heart...Apparently Irish writers can lift the bar even in that least serious genres, chick lit; the heroine is irresistible and the story is well-structured and engaging, written with style, wit and warmth. - Sydney Morning Herald's Book of the Week Delightful - Cosmopolitan s Book of the Month Irresistible - Marie-Claire A great read - Townsville Bulletin It is hard to believe this is Ciara Geraghty s first novel because the timing, pace and delivery are so assured... A page-turner with scenes that will make you laugh out loud. It s easy to understand why this was a number one bestseller in Ireland - Canberra Times Proving that it is possible for women s fiction to be both light-hearted and have emotional depth, Ciara Geraghty s debut novel Saving Grace is well-deserving of the positive reviews it has received. - SUITE 101
