Whose Life Is It Anyway?

In her fifth novel Whose Life Is It Anyway?" Sinead Moriarty has done it again: taken a complex topic - what happens when a young woman falls in love with someone dramatically different than the kind of man her family would have expected - and created an insightful gripping and moving story filled with delightfully sparky characters plenty of straight-talking and all her trademark fun and humour. In balancing of light and shade pathos and comedy Sinead manages to pull off a unique feat - a story that combines the provocative qualities of a Jodi Picoult story with the warmth and humour of Marian Keyes. Its tricky for Niamh OFlaherty growing up in a North London home thats a shrine to all things Irish. But its even trickier being an adult and realizing that her family expects her to
settle down with a nice Irish lad especially now that shes living in Dublin. When Niamh finally meets the love of her life he is the last person she would expect to fall for her. Pierre is older and an intellectual but she loves his ability to laugh at himself his calmness and strength of character and of course his stunning looks. Theres just one problem: if Pierres parents - Jean and Fleur - are sniffy about their pride and joy hooking up with a girl who writes a fluffy newspaper column her parents Mick and Annie are going to go ballistic when they hear that their daughter intends to marry someone who couldnt be less Irish if he tried...Sinead Moriartys novels have sold over half a million copies in Ireland and the UK and she is a four times nominee for the popular fiction Irish Book
Award. She has won over readers and critics telling stories that are funny humane moving and relevant to modern women. "Whose Life Is It Anyway?" is Sinead at her very best. (It is also published under the title "Keeping It In the Family".) Sinead Moriarty lives with her family in Dublin. Her other titles are: "The Baby Trail"; "A Perfect Match"; "From Here to Maternity"; "In My Sisters Shoes"; "Pieces of My Heart"; "Me and My Sisters" and "This Child of Mine"."
