This Charming Man
This Charming Man | Marian Keyes
16 posts | 35 read | 3 reading | 6 to read
The lives of four very different women have been shaped and battered by one charming man. . . .Ireland's debonair politician Paddy de Courcy the "John F. Kennedy Jr. of Dublin" has captured tabloid headlines and the imagination of his country with his charm and charisma. But the crushed hearts he's left behind him reveal more about his character than his winning, votegetting smile. Lola, Grace, Marnie, and Alicia have all suffered from his selfishness and cruelty. But with Paddy's political star ascending, the time is finally ripe for redemption . . . and perhaps a bit of revenge."

My first Marian Keyes and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Combining the often hilarious Lola sections with the excruciating account of alcoholism and grim descriptions of domestic violence is a brave trick but she pulls it off.

I was not prepared for what awaited me when I read the tagged book. Don't let the sweet, romantic covers fool you- this is a deeply disturbing story of abuse. I usually love Marian Keyes and return to her work often, but this one was too much for me and I've never re-read it. Is anyone out there a fan of this book? #AbusiveSpouse #ConflictedWorlds

Eggs This title is new to me-sounds sad 😢 3y
TrishB Not read this one. 3y
Andrea313 @Eggs I'm sure there are light-hearted moments; Marian Keyes is great with that. But my memories of reading it more than 10 years ago are saturated by the more disturbing aspects- probably because I went in completely not expecting that kind of story! 3y

He most definitely was not!!! How do these men get away with it, and what is wrong with them. This was an enjoyable book, but not my favourite Marian Keyes book. At 912 pages it was really too long. Much prefer her Walsh Family series.

tracey38 Wow, that seems like a long book! 4y
Andrew65 @tracey38 It was 😳Reading this and Moby Dick at the same time was a big mistake! (edited) 4y

I‘ve not read a Marion Keyes novel, but I‘ve seen some great reviews of both Grown Ups and The Break, so I think I need to read at least one of her novels.

I'm traveling tomorrow, so of course I have my Kindle with me. However, the hotel I'm staying in tonight had books to borrow / take. And I so can not pass that up. I chose this one, as I've never read anything by this author and it sounds interesting. Hope it's good!

I love Autumn days like this. Sunny and cold. Lovely morning for a pre work audiowalk. Daisy agrees. (PS Daisy's had a poorly tail, and the vet had to shave it, so that pom pom look she's rocking isn't a fashion choice. I think she can pull it off though 😉🐩) #dogsoflitsy

Mitch She‘s rocking the new look 😘 6y
Sace She's wearing it like a boss! 6y

I got reminded about this book yesterday, so it came easily to mind for today‘s prompt. I remember this book being one of the first to teach me that there are #toomanycreeps and bad people in this world, even if they don‘t look the part. It is amazing what a well polished look can do for a bad person!

batsy This sounds good! Yes, definitely a good lesson to learn early... "Charm" can cover up a lot ? 7y
Kalalalatja @batsy I think it might be 6-7 years since I read it, but I was hooked all the way through! 7y

Started this on holiday and got lost in it! I need to finish it. I don't like the disjointed chapter styles but I'm sticking with it....

Never again will I be snacking. From now on I'll be preventative eating!

Great characterization and wit. Kudos for tackling domestic violence too. Liked this audiobook more than I had expected but it was too long (27 hours) and too happy at the end for my taste. Look forward to discussing it at my feminist book club next week.

This is my fav book by Marian. I love the way the story is from each of the women's view points. You laugh, cry, cheer and get mad at the main characters.
