Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

International bestseller Keyes is back with another quirky, heartwarming story of the Walsh sisters (Angels, etc.). Anna Walsh has returned to the bosom of her family in the Dublin suburbs to recuperate from the horrendous car accident that has left her with multiple fractures and a disfiguring scar across her face. Desperate to go back to New York and resume her normal life, she soon packs up her bags and returns to her job in beauty PR for punk cosmetics brand Candy Grrrl. A lonely and debilitated Anna leaves e-mails and phone messages for her mysteriously absent husband, Aidan, pleading for him to reply. [...] Meanwhile, she reminisces about their courtship and marriage while her kooky family (especially her Mum and hyperactive PI sister Helen) tries to buoy her spirits. Keyes's trademark blend of humor, diverse characters and a warm but unsentimental tone strikes gold. (May 9)

From AudioFile

Irish native Anna Walsh enjoys her life in New York as a PR person for an upscale cosmetics company. As she meets and falls in love with Aidan Maddox, her life is almost perfect. When tragedy strikes, Anna must rely on her family in Ireland to support her through difficult times. Terry Donnelly's crisp Irish accent embodies Anna and changes subtly to show her tender broken heart. Donnelly ably varies pitch to distinguish between the characters. The production's only drawback concerns the accents of the American characters, who still retain a slight Irish lilt. Nevertheless, Donnelly's smooth lyrical voice will lure listeners into this entertaining audio experience. S.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

3.0 out of 5 stars Sex and the City by Way of Ballykissangel, Feb 2 2008
By Ms. N. P. Dougan (Ravara, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Anybody Out There (Paperback)

Ever since Carrie Bradshaw donned those Manolo Blahniks in Sex and the City and Renee Zellweger put on forty pounds to play Bridget Jones, women everywhere have been going into their local book shops and reaching for this sort of fiction. `Chick Lit' fiction has become a phenomenon, selling more copies than any other genre and Marian Keyes is one of its most prolific and bestselling authors. Keyes has written nearly a dozen books and seems to have gained tremendous praise from lovers of all things `Chick Lit'. I, personally am not really a fan of this genre, (I like at least a couple of murders or some black humour in anything I read) however, after seeing Keyes, being extremely witty, in a few interviews, I decided to give one of her books a go. I chose Anybody Out There? - Marian Keye's latest.


The book tells the tale of an Irish woman, Anna Walsh, living in New York, she has the perfect job, the perfect husband, and is living in one of the most fast moving and exciting cities in the world. What more could a girl ask for? Life is grand, however, as the story progresses, the reader soon realises that something is very, very wrong.


As the story begins, Anna is back in Ireland, far away from her wonderful life, her perfect husband seems to have disappeared and she has been horribly scarred. As to why she is scarred or how she has ended up back in Ireland is a mystery which is revealed slowly and intriguingly throughout the book. As Anna recuperates in Ireland we are reintroduced to the Walsh family, a family that Keyes fans will have come to know well. Readers get to know Helen, the youngest of the Walsh Clan, she is a private detective and spends most of her time hiding in bushes trying to catch cheating spouses with her long range camera lens. Also Mother Walsh, whose concern for all her daughters is sometimes only fuelled by what other people may think of them. A typical Irish mother!


When Anna returns to New York, in search of her missing husband and against her mother's wishes, we meet a whole host of other characters, including Nicholas, a conspiracy theory nut, who believes everything from Alien Abductions to the fact that Elvis is alive and working in Taco Bell! All of these characters bring the book alive and help you to laugh through what is at times a heart breaking story.


`Anybody Out There?' is a good read, with elements of humour tragedy and indeed mystery. It has a few short comings, when the great mystery is revealed to the reader it seems to lose pace and any story about young single women set in New York will always be compared to Sex and the City. And when doing a straight comparison `Anybody Out there?' falls a little bit short. As a light summer read it is perfect, definitely a must if you need to read something while sitting beside the pool, sipping a glass of wine in Spain.
I would advise anyone who likes this sort of fiction to certainly read it. I would not say it has converted me to become a fan of `Chick Lit' fiction but it certainly has made me consider, after I have read few more juicy murder stories to try another one of these types of stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marian Does It Again, Aug 2 2006
By Cash (Manitoba) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anybody Out There (Paperback)
Love, love, loved it. I've always been a Marian Keyes fan and I wasn't disapointed with this book. It made me laugh and cry, sometimes both at the same time. Marian makes you feel like your part of the crazy Walsh family or wish that you were. Not only is it a feel good book, as I finished the last page I was filled with hope. I'll never look at a butterfly the same way again. A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Equal Measures of Irish Charm and New York Style, Aug 2 2006
By Nadia Khalil (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Anybody Out There (Paperback)
The marketing business is a self-contained, cutthroat world, world but Anna Walsh emerges from it as a young, successful executive for Candy Grrrl Cosmetics in New York. She's smart, she's beautiful, and she's got a wonderful husband who adores her. In short, she has it all.

But that's not how it seems when this story first opens in Anna's native Dublin, where her parents are nursing her back to health and tending to some of her very serious physical injuries. The nature of those injuries remains a mystery, as does the unexplained absence of Anna's husband, Aidan, during Anna's convalescence. Her phone calls to him go un-returned, as do her e-mails, and Anna becomes increasingly anxious over his continued silence. So anxious in fact that she decides it's time to go back to New York to try and make sense of everything.

I've long suspected that beneath Marian Keyes "chick-lit" façade, there lay some very serious writing. Her latest offering, <u>Anybody Out There?</u>, goes a long way to proving that. This book explores the nature of relationships, attraction, and one woman's desperate attempt to hold on to the man she loves, whatever the cost.

This book is also a bit of a mystery. Anna's memories jump with surprising fluidity from present to past and back again, allowing readers to fill in the blanks at a comfortable pace until they come to the novel's twist.

Those familiar with Keyes' previous novels will find themselves in familiar territory with the Walshes: a family that has been featured very prominently in books past. This time Anna serves as narrator and protagonist, but her sisters Claire, Rachel, Margaret and Helen are all back with memorable cameos of their own

Keyes delivers wonderful characters, excruciatingly funny insights into ordinary work and family life, and a fantastically bittersweet love story.
