Claire Allan --- Poolbeg - the Irish for Bestsellers!


If you like Marian Keyes you'll LOVE Claire Allan! Claire Allan

A brand new talent from Poolbeg!

From the publishers who discovered Marian Keyes, Maeve Binchy, Cathy Kelly and Patricia Scanlan among many others, we are delighted to present our newest discovery, Claire Allan.

Grace, Parenting Editor of a monthly glossy, was once the glamorous Health and Beauty Editor. Now she still looks like she’s nine months pregnant two years after childbirth and is devastated when the office bimbo, stick-insect Louise, announces: “I need you to lose weight.” Grace has been chosen by the magazine to undergo the ultimate make-over for a feature.

Overcoming her first reaction (which is to murder Louise), Grace decides to go for it – not realizing it will involve taking happy pills, crying torrents in front of her hard-nosed editor Sinéad, being weighed in public, and wondering whether or not she wants to stay married . . .

Will it all be worth it?

What a Read!
Reviewed by Conor McLaughlin from Derry

If you loved Bridget Jones, you'll love "Rainy Days and Tuesdays".

This book is unputdownable, and from the moment you start reading, you will be engrossed in the hectic world of Grace. Throughout the story, Grace suffers several midlife crises but survives with the helps of her RBT (Reliable Black Trousers, guaranteed to work with any outfit), her friends, her family...and a little bit of chocolate and alcohol.

This is a great read and will have you laughing aloud at least once per page!
