Anybody Out There?

A Heartbreaking, Hilarious Journey Through Loss and Love

Anybody Out There? by Marian Keyes is a poignant, laugh-out-loud novel that masterfully blends heartbreak with hope. Published in 2007 by Penguin, it’s part of the beloved Walsh family series but stands alone as a deeply moving exploration of grief, healing, and the power of sisterhood.

Anna Walsh Is in Pieces—Literally and Emotionally

After a terrible accident, Anna returns to her chaotic family home in Dublin to recover. With scars on her face and a shattered spirit, she tries to piece her life back together. But what hurts the most is the absence of her beloved husband, Aidan. Why won’t he return her calls? Why won’t anyone talk about him?

Witty, Raw, and Full of Heart

As Anna slowly begins to face the truth, she discovers unexpected strength within herself—and finds comfort in the support of her eccentric but fiercely loving family. Keyes captures the complexity of emotion with grace and humor, creating a story that is both entertaining and emotionally resonant.

Perfect for Fans of Real, Relatable Women’s Fiction

Anybody Out There? is ideal for readers who appreciate stories of resilience, love lost and found, and characters who feel like old friends.
