Book Description:

From the acclaimed bestselling author of Sushi for Beginners and Angels comes a collection of personal essays on shopping, writing, moviemaking, motherhood and all the assorted calamities involved in being a savvy woman in the new millennium.

Her novels are read and adored by millions around the world, and with Under the Duvet, Marian Keyes tackles the world of nonfiction. These are her collected pieces: regular bulletins from the woman writing under the covers.

Marian loves shoes and her LTFs (Long-Term Friends), hates realtors and lost luggage, and she once had a Christmas office party that involved roasting two sheep on a spit, Moroccan-style. She's just like you and me ...

Featuring a wide compilation of Marian's journalism from magazines and newspapers, plus some exclusive, previously unpublished material, Under the Duvet is bursting with funny stories: observations on life, in-laws, weight loss, parties and driving lessons that will keep you utterly gripped -- either wincing with recognition or roaring with laughter.

This is a collection of personal essays on shopping, writing, moviemaking, motherhood and all the assorted clamities involved in being a savvy woman in the new millennium. This is a great read! I am a Marian Keyes fan and have read the majority of her books. Unfortunately, I gave them away before I knew abouth PBS. The other Keyes book I have is "Sushi for Beginners".

Cute, but forgetable.

I thought this was a witty commentary about the author's life. It was great getting to "know" the author behind the books.
