In Marian Keyes’ latest novel, heroine Ashling Kennedy thinks her new job at a start-up Irish fashion magazine, titled Colleen, as a dream come true. At the same time, arrogant London editor Lisa Edwards sees her new position as editor-in-chief of Colleen as a downgrade from her desired position at Manhattan magazine in NYC. In this novel about singles in Dublin, Lisa finds herself getting too caught up and contemptuous in her work while Ashling is betrayed by the ones she loves. The formulaic love triangle surfaces between Lisa, Ashling and their handsome boss, Jack Devine. Join the ladies of Sushi for Beginners in their quest for happiness in this true-to-form literary work of British “chick-lit.”
Marian Keyes has written seven novels and the non-fiction book Under the Duvet. Sushi for Beginners is published by Harper Perennial.
