Changes

Marian welcomes us back into the Walsh fold for Anna's story. The Walshes are a family that I hold dear in my heart because they are such a disparate bunch (each having their own story, chronicled over the years by Ms. Keyes and [[''Watermelon]] '' being my absolute favourite) all shepherded by the determined and slightly unhinged Mammy Walsh. Just knowing that I was going to revisit them all within these pages brought a smile to my face. Marian Keyes has many gifts although the one that I most enjoy is the easy way that she can keep a completely separate, clever, irrelevant and hilarious sub-plot going throughout the story. It is, in my humble opinion, genius at work. To have Anna's sister Helen as the pivotal character in said sub-plot puts her into [[:Category:Stephen Hawking|Stephen Hawking]] territory. Helen is as crazy and comical as they come and perfect for the part.
