The Woman Who Stole My Life by Marian Keyes FIC Key

Stella Sweeney is a rather normal person (in her opinion).  She has been married to Ryan since a young age.  They have two teenagers - a son and a daughter.  The marriage isn't the greatest but it is okay.  Stella's life can be divided into three stages.  There is the ordinary stage when she was simple a wife, mother and beautician.  Stage two finds her confined to a bed for months because of Guillain-Barrë Syndrome which leaves her unable to move anything and she can only communicate by blinking her eyes.  Then there is the third stage.  Some time after she recovers from her illness she finds out that her neurologist, Manix Taylor, turned their blinked "conversations" into a self-published book.  That leads to a book deal and she moves for a year to New York.

As the book begins she is actually back in Ireland and the story of those stages is told in bits and pieces.  It is a story of love and loss, success and failure, and a family trying to be happy.

An entertaining book and I loved the audiobook - I just love those accents!
