Review

'A moving, poetic tale about how life can change in the blink of an eye'―Bella on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS

'Heart-breaking and funny, poignant and life affirming. It is a story of fate and family, and shows you are never too old or young to start lifesaving.'―www.novelicious.com on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS

'Hilarious . . . But there's death and guilt, too, in this sometimes dark, tear-jerking novel' ****―Company on SAVING GRACE

Sad, funny and wise―Marie Claire on FINDING MR FLOOD

Move over Marian, it's Ciara . . . impressive and highly entertaining [with] one of the most authentic female characters I've read in women's fiction for a long time . . . lots of biting humour and a darker side beneath the laughs.―Irish Independent on SAVING GRACE

Made me laugh and cry and sometimes both at the same time. A very emotional read that I just could not put down.―www.debrasbookcafe.blogspot.co.uk on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS

I love Ciara Geraghty's easy style of writing and how she manages to create such a beautiful warm and moving storyline.―www.reabookreviews.blogspot.co.uk on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS

I just can't get over how charming this book was. It was a delight to read―www.chicklitcentral.com on FINDING MR FLOOD

Definitely her best yet . . . What is so fabulous about this emotional, very readable book is the way it's told through the contrasting voices of Kat and Milo . . . Clever, poignant and absorbing―Fabulous magazine on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS

Beautifully written―Image on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS

A beautifully written, somewhat whimsical and very encouraging tale about grabbing hold of life's reins, breaking away from the monotony of a dull routine and following your dreams . . . emotional, joyous . . . I adored it.―Daily Mail on FINDING MR FLOOD

A beautifully written story that offers vivid, believable characters who will stay with you long after the final page―Press Association on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS

'Spectacular . . . LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS is a novel that needs to be seen and needs to be read. It not only has a beautiful, simplistic cover, but it also has a beautiful inside too, with two characters who you really feel you know . . . I really do recommend you pick up this book.'―www.chicklitreviewsandnews.com

'Imaginative'―Sun

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ciara Geraghty is an Irish bestselling novelist. She lives in Dublin with one husband, two 'technically' grown up children and one actual kid, who is probably the most mature of the lot of them. When she is not writing in her garret, Ciara loves reading, swimming in the sea and playing her violin. The neighbours adore her, obviously....
