Last Chance Saloon

British Book Awards Author of the Year 2022




A captivating, heartwarming tale of friendship and love from the superstar of women's fiction

'I'm in the Last Chance Saloon. In my decrepit, thirty-one-year-old state, I'd probably never get another man . . .'

Tara, Katherine and Fenton have been best friends since they were teenagers. Now in their early thirties, they've been living it up in London for ten years. But what have they got to show for it?

Sure, Tara's got her boyfriend - but she loves retail therapy so much more. Katherine, on the other hand, is a serial singleton whose neatness fetish won't let a man mess up her life. And Fenton? Well, Fenton has everything. Until he gets ill and he has to ask himself: what have you got if you haven't got your health?

All three are drinking in the last chance saloon and they're about to discover that if you don't change your life, life has a way of changing you...

Praise for Last Chance Saloon

In Marian Keyes' BESTSELLING Last Chance Saloon, three great friends discover that despite their best-laid plans, life can unravel in the most unexpected ways. 'Love is blind, there was no doubt about it. In Tara's case it was also deaf, dumb, dyslexic, had a bad hip and the beginnings of Alzheimer's . . .'

from the publisher's description

Moving, relatable and infinitely tender, Keyes takes the most uncomfortable human experiences and treats them with real dignity. But of course, because it's Marian, it's still very, very funny

Independent

Plenty of heart, lots of laughs, and a fantastic twist in the tail

Cosmopolitan

A comforting doorstopper of a read that's as addictive as solitaire
