Overview

The queen of genre-defying fiction, Marian Keyes takes to the QPAC stage to share stories from her early days to becoming a multi-million copy bestselling author. In conversation with Beejay Silcox, Marian will be reflecting on love, mistakes, resilience, and embracing new chapters at 60 with her signature warmth and wit. 
 
Celebrating the paperback release of My Favourite Mistake, Marian unpacks lost sparks, old flames, and midlife reinvention. With laughter, heartfelt moments, and inspiring storytelling, join one of fiction’s most beloved voices for an unforgettable evening. 

  • Warm, funny and wise, [her books are] roadmaps for how to overcome life’s inevitable hard times.
