Paperback edition of author Marian Keyes' greatest success.
Melancia won a legion of fans in Brazil and around the world by telling the story of Claire Walsh and introducing the women of the Walsh family, protagonists of other novels by Marian Keyes.
Claire had everything she ever wanted in life: a husband she idolized, a great apartment, a good job. But on what would have been a very special day in her life, the day her daughter was born, James announced he was leaving her for a neighbor he'd been having an affair with for over six months. Heartbroken, with a newborn baby, and a postpartum body she could barely bear to look at, she decided to move back to her parents' house in Dublin. There, cared for by her eccentric family, Claire weighed the pros and cons of a three-year marriage and began to feel better. In fact, much better. Until her ex-husband reappears, forcing her to make a decision that, one way or another, would change her life once again.
Extremely funny and irreverent, Watermelon was the novel that launched Irish author Marian Keyes worldwide. It's a novel about survival and the art of maintaining a good sense of humor even in the most adverse circumstances.
