Go further under the covers and stay in bed a little longer with Marian Keyes in this winning follow-up to her smash essay collection, Under the Duvet. Written in the witty, forthright style that has earned her legions of devoted readers, "Cracks in My Foundation" offers an even deeper and more candid look into this beloved author's mind and heart, exploring such universal themes as friends and family, home, glamour and beauty, children, travel, and more. Marian's hilarious and thoughtful take on life makes her readers feel they are reading a friend, not just an author.
Marian continues to entertain with her reports from the trenches, and throws in some original short fiction as well. Whether it's visiting Siberia, breaking it off with an old hairdresser, shopping (of course!), turning "forty," living with her beloved husband, Himself (a man beyond description), or musing on the F word (feminism), Marian shares the joys, passions, and sorrows of her world and helps us feel good about our own. So grab a latte and a pillow and get ready to laugh your slippers off!

Marian Keyes is a thought-provoking writer, who ranges from being hiliariously funny, to being quite introspective. She reveals that she has had ongoing problems with alcohol, and self-esteem, and yet is so insightful to the personalities of others.
Reading this book, I felt I got to know her both as a person and as an author. At times I felt slightly uncomfortable that she was telling me, a stranger, so much about her inner self, but I couldn't help liking her all the same.
