About this listen

June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday....

And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings.

For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change....

I listened to this book in one day it was so hard to put down. I dont like chick-lit generally, however Marian Keyes does it for me, I don;t think her novels can count as chick-lit though, especially the more recent ones. It was different to her usual work, but very very interesting.

Marian Keyes can do no wrong!

The Brightest Star in the Sky is another great novel by Marian Keyes. I love the way she is able to take serious issues and realistic characters and weave them into a story where the different strands eventually connect to create a funny and touching novel. Her plots are great and her subplots keep you guessing. Well worth listening to.

Bought on BOGOF deal and never read Marion Keyes before, so glad I did. Story telling at its best, fluffy and tough in places.

What did you like best about this story?

It had a magical, spiritual element to the story, that only becomes clear at the end, very clever, which added another dimension.

Clever, fun easy listening.
