Episode Description

Zibby chats with #1 internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes about MY FAVORITE MISTAKE, a warm-hearted and deftly plotted page-turner about a woman who, in full mid-life crisis mode, switches Manhattan and a big-deal PR job for the Irish town of Maumtully, where she helps her old friends set up a luxury retreat… and bumps into an old flame. Marian delves into her novel’s themes of aging, midlife love, regret, and self-forgiveness. Then, she shares reflections on her own life, including her decision to pursue IVF and her experience as an alcoholic in recovery.
