This Charming Man

"I opened front door and took deep inhale of fresh country air. Smelt of cow-shite. Five red and white cows in nearby field lazily flicking tails at me. Culprits."

Four women, one very charming man. In her latest book, Marian Keyes did it again - seamlessly told an issue of great importance (domestic violence) with much aplomb and hilarity.

Of the four woman characters in the story, I liked Lola the most. Perhaps it was the way her tale was written - Keyes used a most peculiar form of English, very Singlish like - I enjoyed it immensely.

On the hand, I get a severe bout of depression reading about Marnie.

All in all, a great read, especially for a weekend of nothing to do. It will make you laugh out loud :)
