Last chance saloon

Bestselling Irish author Marian Keyes has created yet another group of unforgettable characters in this irresistibly funny and uplifting tale of the search for happiness and the unpredictability of fate.

Tara, Katherine and Fintan, best friends since their Duran Duran-dominated teenage years in County Clare, are now in their thirties and living in London. So far Fintan is the only one to have found true love, but he bats for a different team.

Tara, on a diet almost since the day she first went on solids, and stuck in a dead-end relationship with the dreadful Thomas, believes that when you're thirty-one and stuck in the Last Chance Saloon, even a relationship with a man who keeps his change in a little-old-man purse is better than no man at all.
