Sushi for beginners. Marian Keyes. 2000.

'Dammit,' she realized. 'I think I'm having a nervous breakdown.'

Hot-shot magazine editor Lisa Edwards' career is destined for high-rise New York, when suddenly she's blown off-course into the delights of low-rise Dublin. But what on earth can she do about it?

Ashling Kennedy, Lisa's super-organized assistant, is good at worrying. Too good. She's even terrified of a little bit of raw fish . . .

Clodagh Kelly is Ashling's best friend and has done everything right: beautiful kids and a husband come prince - everything in fact that Ashling has ever wanted. She should be - yet, she's not - happy.

Three women on the verge of happiness and even closer to a complete breakdown. Which way will they fall?
