Apart From The Crowd by Anna Mcpartlin
Five lost souls in search of redemption . . . To outsiders it looks as if Mary was born unlucky, but deep down she believes in a happy ending. She just needs someone to remind her. And Sam looks like a waster and a disappointment - the man who had it all and then threw it all away. He needs a fresh start. Penny is the life and soul of every party. She's also a drunk and some would say a home wrecker. She needs someone to understand her. Ivan's a sucker - a man who still cares about the woman who broke his heart and took his children from him. He needs to be brave. And Adam is in a loveless marriage and cheating on his wife, though only he knows why he married the wrong woman. He needs a wake-up call. For these five souls change is going to come, and, when it does, they all get more than they bargained for.
I loved every page of itAnna McPartlin beautifully captures each character, revealing their past and present lives while weaving their stories together intricately and keeping you truly absorbed from start to finish. It so impressed me that I will be reading it again. * Irish Mail on Sunday *
Influenced by the death of her parents and a friend at an early age, McPartlin's books could be grim, but her experience as a stand-up comic provide a counterbalance, producing nicely rounded novels with a light touch ... the perfect escape * Irish Independent *
A delightful roller-coaster ride of emotion * Sunday Independent *
A rollicking good read * Sunday World *

Anna McPartlin's experience of losing her parents at a young age has given her a profound understanding of loss, surviving it and making the very best of life. Before becoming a full-time writer Anna was, among other things, a stand-up comedian and a claims adjuster. As well as novels, she writes TV comedy drama. She is in her mid-thirties and lives just outside Dublin with her husband, a musician.
