This Charming Man – Marian Keyes

Description

This Charming Man by Marian Keyes is an emotionally charged and sharply witty novel about love, lies, and the dangerous charisma of one man. When the news breaks that popular, smooth-talking politician Paddy de Courcy is getting married, it sends shockwaves through the lives of four very different women — each with a history tied to him.

There’s Lola, a trendy stylist who believed she was Paddy’s girlfriend, only to find out she’s not the bride. Grace, a determined journalist, wants to uncover the truth behind the high-profile engagement and suspects Lola holds vital answers. Grace’s sister Marnie is battling personal demons and an unhealed heart after her own complicated past with Paddy. And then there’s Alicia, the polished fiancée, eager to be the perfect wife — though she may not truly know the man she’s about to marry.

As their stories unfold, a darker, more sinister side of Paddy emerges, revealing the damage his charm has left in its wake. Blending Marian Keyes’ trademark humour with depth and sensitivity, This Charming Man tackles themes of abuse, friendship, addiction, and resilience, making it both an entertaining and thought-provoking read.
