Niamh Greene

Sympaticky ztřeštěná Susie, která má dvě děti, čtyřletou Katie a dvouletého Jacka, ve svém deníku popisuje zkušenosti a zážitky, které jsou důvěrně známé každé ženě, jež se rozhodne opustit slibně se rozvíjející kariéru a zůstane s dětmi doma „na plný úvazek“. Přesvědčuje se, že být doma s dětmi byla ta nejlepší volba a role ženy v domácnosti je skutečně vznešené poslání (nikoli nevděčná dřina), neustále si dává předsevzetí, že se konečně začně věnovat vznešených koníčkům a že bude číst kvalitní literaturu (nikoli pokleslé časopisy a bulvární plátky), snaží se nemyslet na to, že z jejího vztahu k manželovi (jehož podezírá z nevěry) se poněkud vytratila romantika, potýká se s tchyní i s vlastními rodiči (což je boj, který nelze nikdy úplně vyhrát), a především permanentně bojuje s nejrůznějšími pokušeními… Výsledkem je „strhující bláznivý výlet do chaosu rodinného života (Irish Times)“ a bestseller, jehož se Velké Británii dosud prodalo přes sto padesát tisíc výtisků.

Niamh Greene's delightful fifth novel "A Message to Your Heart" is an intriguing and heart-warming story for fans of the wise humour of Catherine Alliott and the modern day fairytales of Cecelia Ahern. Throw in Niamh's unique brand of heart-warming storytelling and readers are in for a real treat. Frankie Rowley is far too practical to believe in karma or fate ...and her family and friends reckon that work-obsessed Frankie's strongest relationship is with her phone. (And why not? At least it never judges her for cancelling dinner for the umpteenth time.) When she loses that precious phone on a business trip to San Francisco, Frankie is forced to hire a replacement. Soon she's getting texts meant for someone else - a woman called Aimee who seems like a lot of fun, and whose family clearly loves to keep in touch - and whose presence in her life is the last thing Frankie needs. Frankie goes on the warpath, but she is in for some surprises when she blunders into Aimee's world. And the biggest surprise of all is how your life can be changed forever by losing a phone. Frankie may not believe in karma or fate, but suddenly it looks like they've got her number ...

Niamh Greene's new novel "Coco's Secret" is a deeply moving reinvention story that will be enjoyed by fans of the modern day fairytales of Cecelia Ahern. Throw in Niamh's unique brand of heart-warming storytelling and readers are in for a real treat. Coco Swan has always been embarrassed by her name. With a name like Coco, she thinks people expect her to be as exotic and glamorous as the famous designer, not an ordinary-looking small-town antiques dealer who could win an award for living cautiously. But when a vintage Chanel handbag turns up in a box of worthless bric-a-brac, Coco's quiet world is turned upside down. Where did it come from? And is it just coincidence that it's the same bag Coco's late mother always wanted for her? When Coco discovers a mysterious, decades-old letter hidden in the bag's lining, she sets off on a quest to piece together the story behind it, stumbling across secrets that span three generations as she goes. Could the beautiful Chanel bag be about to teach Coco more than she wants to learn? Or will it show her just where her heart can take her if she lets it lead the way? "Coco's Secret" is a gripping and thoroughly satisfying story about a young women finally finding courage to become the kind of woman she always had it in her to be. It will go straight to readers' hearts just like her previous bestselling novels, including the bestselling and award-nominated "Secret Diary of a Demented Housewife". Her other novels are "Confessions of a Demented Housewife", "Lessons from a Love Rat", "Rules for a Perfect Life" and "A Message to Your Heart".
