And what of the soon-to-be Mrs de Courcy? Alicia will do anything for her fiance and is determined to be the perfect wife. But does she know the real Paddy? Four very different women. One awfully charming man. And the dark secret that binds them all ...'The laughs come fast and furious ...a gripping, compelling tale' Sunday Independent 'Gripping from the start ...the master at her best' Daily Telegraph 'The queen of page-turners ...brimming with her trademark down-to-earth wit' Cosmopolitan Marian Keyes's international bestselling novels include Watermelon, Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married, and winner of the 2007 Popular Fiction Prize Anybody Out There.
