JUNE 2007
Bright Lights and Promises is published by Headline Review
Daily Express says
‘Better known as Mrs Doyle from TV’s Father Ted, the actress turned novelist has written a winner with this, her sixth novel… Pauline McLynn brings the same comic touches to her writing as she brought to the wonderful Mrs Doyle. She manages to deal with some serious subjects, such as death, old age and separation, but she does so with a lightness in her pen and a smile on her face. McLynn’s experience of the acting world shines through. From the handsome leading man John Forbes to his aged father and veteran actor Reg Darwin, the cast of thespian characters give a wicked insight into the life of a jobbing actor’
Irish Independant says
‘With a flourish McLynn has entered Maeve Binchy/Marian Keyes territory showing a real flair for writing comedy while delivering razor-sharp observations. This novel works on many levels and the author is not afraid to tackle issues such as single-parenthood, loneliness and the exhausting pace of our modern life. Acutely and sensitively observed, this is a very contemporary story told with style and sparkling good humour. You’ll like it.’
The Observer recommends it as a holiday read saying
‘equally amusing is BRIGHT LIGHTS AND PROMISES by Father Ted’s Pauline McLynn, set in the melodramatic world of a London theatrical agency.
