In less than a week Hannah will open the doors to Cupcakes on the Corner, her very own shop. Life couldn t be better until, out of the blue, her live-in boyfriend Patrick announces that he s leaving her for another woman, who s pregnant with his baby.
As Hannah licks her wounds, best friend Mel moves in to help with the rent. They ve been bosom buddies for years, so it stands to reason that they d get on well living together, right Mel, for his part, is only too happy to pass on his own flat to his twin sister Nora, who has just moved home from America after a second divorce. And where Nora goes, chaos soon follows... And then there s Alice, who works with Hannah s mother. Her husband Tom s drinking is getting out of control and things are about to take a turn for the worse...Her best book so far. Repeatedly and deservedly likened to Maeve Binchy, she is a master of her craft and a gifted storyteller. She has outdone herself with a skilful plot, memorable characters and the ability to leave the reader wanting more. The cleverly written plot-within-a-plot gives an interesting twist to this absorbing book. If you are a Binchy fan, I would highly recommend you get to know Meaney too. - Irish Independent
The Last Week of May is a highly engaging and heartwarming tale populated with warm and loveable characters. Roisin Meaney's gentle storytelling is reminiscent of that of Maeve Binchy. I truly adored the book and devoured it within a few short hours. - Melissa HillKeenly observed and beautifully told. Lots of writers are compared to Binchy but Meaney really is ... Buy it now and put it in the beach bag. - Irish Independent ReviewWith writing reminiscent of Maeve Binchy's, Meaney is carving out a niche for herself in this crowded market. - Irish ExaminerThe plot will draw you in; and there is both laughter and tears along the way.
