5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic new book, 20 Sep 2008
I adored Sinead's first three novels about a couple trying to have a baby yet her fourth book "In My Sister's Shoes" fell a little flat for me with characters I couldn't really relate to and didn't really care about. I've just finished this author's latest offering "Whose Life Is It Anyway?" and have to say I loved this story and the characters are just delightful. Niamh is very real; flawed yet fabulous and very believable. Pierre comes across as every girl's dream guy. Yet it is Niamh's family who really stand out in this light yet moving novel. The flashbacks to Niamh's upbringing show how she has become the woman she is and why her family mean so much to her. In the beginning of the novel I thought what does it matter if the family won't accept her partner and I was half expecting Niamh to come to terms with breaking away from her roots and choosing love over family. Sinead Moriarty manages to unfold Niamh's story in a way that draws you right into the heart of her family. A family full of larger-than-life yet ultimately believable characters. (Although I did think Siobhan could have been toned down a little as she comes across as a complete cow almost all the time)
My only other minor criticism is that for non Irish readers the pronunciation of the names presents a bit of a challenge:
Niamh - Neev
Siobhan - Shivawn
Nuala - Noola
Ailbhe - Alby
Blathnaid- Blawnood
Muireann - Murin
Tadhg - Tigue
But aside from that this is a lovely feel good novel which will have you thinking about the characters after finishing the book. Nice work Sinead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sinead Moriarty - Keeping It In The Family, 16 April 2009
This review is from: Keeping it in the Family (Paperback)
This is a great read - I've enjoyed all of Sinead Moriarty's novels. However readers should be aware this is the same story as 'Whose Life Is It Anyway'. I really don't understand why the same novel is given 2 different titles - I feel a bit cheated having bought both!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 20 April 2009
This review is from: Keeping it in the Family (Paperback)
This book is Whose life is it anyway? published under a different title. The book itself is brilliant, but it is so disappointing when authors publish the same book under two different titles!!
