Best-selling author Marian Keyes delivers another outstanding audiobook with her latest novel The Woman Who Stole My Life, narrated by Aoife McMahon. Stella Sweeney is an ordinary woman, the average Dublin housewife, whose life changes beyond recognition and leads her down an incredible path of success. Upon her return to her old life, she realises just how much everything and nothing has changed. Now she must choose where to turn – stay in her old life or forge ahead into a new one. This stunning novel will sweep you up as you travel with Stella through the changes that life inevitably throws us all. Available now from Audible.

One day, sitting in traffic, Stella Sweeney attempts a good deed. The resulting car crash changes her life.

Really enjoyed it!

Tried reading the hard copy of this several times and just couldn’t get into it. The second the narrators cheery Irish voice began telling the story, I was hooked!! Loved it.

Good!

I do love your stories Marian.
Interesting and quirky, BUT using my Lord's Name in vain so often really puts me off.

Fabulous. Would listen to it again in a heartbeat.

I loved the ending. Just when you think Marian Keyes could not outperform her previous novels, she does. A very well thought out story which flowed beautifully.

great cast of characters, but romance fell flat

As usual, Marian Keyes has written characters that are fascinating, frequently hilarious and complex. And Aoife McMahon's reading is terrific. I wasn't as keen on the plot though and struggled with the second half of the book, getting frustrated with the main characters actions and not quite believing in or caring about the romance. Ending felt rushed to me. Recommend to fans of Marian Keyes's other books but if you haven't read her before, I would suggest starting with one of the Walsh books or a different standalone title.
