What Happened When Marian Keyes Couldn’t Write

Subscribe to Mamamia
Marian Keyes, one of the most successful authors in the world, has forgotten how to read three times.
Once when she fell into a pit of depression that lasted four years and nearly cost her her marriage and her life. Once at the start of Covid. And last year, after her father died.
Marian joins Mia Freedman to reveal how she got through it, as well as how she let go of bitterness and grief that came with not being able to have children with her husband.
And despite thinking alcohol was the love of her life she’s managed to stay sober for 30 years. Why does she still call herself an alcoholic?
Marian's new book My Favourite Mistake is available here.
Marian's many other novels and her cook book are available on her website here.
Marian is on Instagram here.
