Summary

Dive into Mammy Walsh's A-Z of the Walshes with this laugh-out-loud ebook-only short guide to everyone's favourite dysfunctional Irish family

'Marian Keyes: what a genius'
DAILY MAIL
________


It does exactly what it says on the tin, but here's a brief word from its author, Mammy Walsh herself:

"There's this woman I know from bridge, Mona Hopkins, a lovely woman she is, even if I must admit I'm not that keen on her myself, and she said a great thing the other day. I was expecting her to say "Two no trumps," but instead she comes out with a saying about her children.

She says, "Boys wreck your house and girls wreck your head." Isn't that a marvellous bit of wisdom - "Boys wreck your house and girls wreck your head!" And God knows it's the truest thing I've heard in a long time. I should know. I have five girls. Five daughters. And let me tell you, my head is wrecked from them.

Although, now that I think of it, so is my house . . ."


Mammy Walsh's A-Z of the Walshes
is the perfect re-introduction to the beloved Walsh family, featured in Marian's bestselling novels about the Walsh sisters: Watermelon, Rachel's Holiday, Angels, Anybody Out There and The Mystery of Mercy Close.
