Marian Keyes's Walsh Family novels centre on the five Walsh sisters and their Dublin family, with each book shifting the main viewpoint to a different sister while familiar relatives recur. Watermelon begins with Claire, Rachel's Holiday follows Rachel, Angels centres on Maggie, Anybody Out There? on Anna and The Mystery of Mercy Close on Helen. Again, Rachel and My Favourite Mistake later return to Rachel and Anna. The books can stand individually, but publication order gives the fullest family context. Keyes combines contemporary women's fiction, humour and serious subjects including addiction, grief, work and mental health, using the Walsh family's blunt affection as the connecting thread.
