Marian Keyes: Disaster Averted

The bestselling author arrives at the Festival with a hilarious, heart-warming new novel. In My Favourite Mistake, Anna trades in her high-flying life in New York to help her friends open a wellness retreat in a tiny Irish town. When the locals protest its opening, Anna must make amends with the help of an old flame. Marian Keyes chats to Sam Baker about her latest gem.
