Marian Keyes

The author and broadcaster on the music that shapes her.

The Irish writer, Marian Keyes, has sold 35 million novels in 33 languages, and a new BBC series "The Walsh Sisters" is inspired by some of her most famous work.

From her debut novel over 30 years ago to last year's "My Favourite Mistake", she’s championed women's stories and never shied away from discussing her own life and addiction to alcohol.

Her Inheritance Tracks are both enjoyable and moving in equal measure.
