About the Books
This collection spans two sides of Marian Keyes' writing.

The Break follows a marriage tested by an unexpected decision; The Woman Who Stole My Life explores identity and second chances after a life-changing diagnosis; and The Other Side of the Story weaves together three women connected through publishing, exploring friendship, ambition, and rivalry. Making It Up As I Go Along and Under the Duvet round out the set as two popular non-fiction essay collections, gathering funny, personal writing on everyday life, health, fashion, and family.
